Don't know what happen to my mind earlier. Somehow I started thinking about
the TPS instead of the MAP. Must have been a deprivation of caffine. :'B
Yes, if the sensors parameters are similar, it could be mounted anywhere.
All you'd need would be a vacuum hose running to the TB. I'm still trying
to find a source for the connectors, this would definetly make things
cleaner. Did someone mention the other day that Mopars MAP sensors sells
for around $90-$100? Are they on medication or something?

>From what I understand - almost all 1-bar map sensors have very similiar
characteristics. They consist of a pressure-sensitive disc which converts
manifold air pressure into a voltage signal (GM and Chrysler) or a frequency
signal (Ford) for the PCM. Ours turns this pressure into a voltage reading
5-0V
representing 0-100Kpa or 0-20inHg. Its a very linear curve also. You can
verify this by using a hand-held vacuum device like a mity-VAC (or is it
mini-VAC) to map out the voltage -vs- pressure. Only minor level shifting
should be required to match our factory type perfectly. Thats simple
enough.
On to the interface w/our throttle bodies. Thats even simpler because it is
functionally only connected via a small vacuum hose. Two screws hold the
map
sensor assembly to the throttle body unit but this is not neccessary as long
as
the hose connection is intact. In fact - mine has been connected that way
(hose
only - no screws) for several years w/no problems.
That only leaves the harness connector - you guys have that one figured out
already right? Didn't someone say they found a source for the factory
harness
connectors?
So whats the problem?
