Bob,
I did actually replace the MAP early this week, and the truck was running
poor before this. I did think I bought a bad MAP, so I called Autozone and
they said the PN is had was correct. So then I thought it was a defective
MAP, so they actually exchanged the sensor for another one after I told them
what was going on. So I installed the new new one, and no change. I
installed the old one and it actually ran the same, if not a tad worse on
the highway. I am borrowing a Auto Xray scanner, so hopefully that might be
able to tell me something that I cannot visually or manually find is wrong.
So far after inspecting and checking everything for 5 hours today, I cant
find anything wrong. Hopefully the scanner will tell me something. Thanks
for the input.
