Put the new MAP # 56029405 in at lunchtime, burning my fingers on the
radiator hose getting to the torx screws. Anyway, I'm finishing up & my
neighbor comes over & we're BSing while I'm tightening the screws & making
sure the vacuum "L" is on, and in I jump to fire it up. Huh?? Check engine??
Wouldn't keep an idle, surging all over the place, but when I revved it, NO
PING!!!!! That's when I realized I FORGOT TO PLUG IN THE CONNECTOR! Doh!!
But..... it revved with the responsiveness of a 4bbl.! Just wouldn't keep an
idle. Never heard my Dak's motor so quiet. Too bad as soon as I plugged in
the connector & reset the brain, it pings again!! WITH the new MAP in!
I will say that it revs up much sooner and has a definite harder pull when
accelerating steadily to about 50 with o/d on. So it DID improve the
performance, but not the ping. Why do you suppose it stopped pinging
COMPLETELY with the MAP harness unplugged? Too bad there's no way to cure the
surging idle with the MAP unplugged, 'cause it sure revved WAY better than
EFI ever felt to me!
Final verdict: I've spent more & gotten less in the past, and now I've got a
spare MAP. Sorry for the long post.
