TrisK Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 Hi guysBeen offered an 82. It's standard and body work is good. He says it runs fine but idles a bit high. He says this is because of a faulty map sensor. Common fault? Likely? Any simple test?Also how much is a new map sensor going to set me back?Thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Socks Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 It'll more likely be:Air LeakICV (Idle Control Valve)TPS (throttle Position Sensor)It could be map sensor... but more liekly one of the above! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TrisK Posted May 22, 2012 Author Share Posted May 22, 2012 Aparently it idles funnyThen if he unplugs the sensor it idles fine Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Socks Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 That is exactly what aaddzz123's car did... Unplugged map sensor idled fine... His issue was TPS! Map Sensors very rarely fail! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TrisK Posted May 22, 2012 Author Share Posted May 22, 2012 Did it drive fineHow can I test the tps? How much/available is one of those? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
