who makes a "good" MAP sensor for Iron Duke? (Page 2/2)

I take it personally when he DOES rudely attack others and make snide comments about their abilities and no one, including forum managers, call him out on it. He HAS criticized me personally more than once which is why I rarely post anything.

You are right, I shouldn't and I rarely do...except when it is him because he is so obnoxious and he does it on purpose.

The person that you are referring to ,certainly has some strong opinions and some could call this being obnoxious. I just read over them as an opinion that may or may not be valid. Don't be bothered by these posts, just shrug it off and move on. Quite frankly I just laugh it off.

Good advice, and that's what I usually do. Often, I just skip over his posts because they are usually a mixture of a little fact and lots of nonsense.

This one just ticked me off because it was absolute nonsense. Heck, I was looking for suggestions on a part, nothing else. I wanted the record set straight for anyone in the future that might have the same problem. All sensors in FI affect the A/F ratio therefore any misreading sensor can cause lean or rich conditions and that needed to be clear. My ranting was unfortunate yet I'd had enough that day.

Ok, two days of driving with the Standard brand MAP sensor and all is well. Moral of this story is that the quality of Chinese made sensors, even those branded AC-Delco, is low and chances of getting a bad one are too high.

So if you replace a MAP sensor and it acts differently yet not "right" then try another one and/or a different brand. Might be bad out of the box.

Makes me long for decades past...
