Restore Your Commodore's Idle (1-Bar Standard Type)

Important: This is the 1-Bar Sensor for Non-Supercharged Engines.

The Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) sensor is critical for the fuel injection system on the classic Holden 3.8L and 5.0L engines. This Premium unit is calibrated specifically as a 1-Bar sensor for naturally aspirated engines. It restores smooth idle and fuel economy.

VEHICLE COMPATIBILITY

Suitable for the following vehicles:

Holden Commodore (VN / VP / VR / VS): 3.8L V6 (Naturally Aspirated)
Holden Commodore (VN / VP / VR / VS): 5.0L V8 (EFI)
Holden Statesman (VQ / VR / VS): V6 & V8
Toyota Lexcen (VN to VS): 3.8L V6

TECHNICAL WARNING

DO NOT FIT TO SUPERCHARGED ENGINES (L67).

Supercharged V6 engines require a 2-Bar sensor (Part No. 16040609). This sensor is 1-Bar only. Fitting this to a supercharged car will cause lean running and engine damage.

1 X OEM Quality MAP SENSOR (3-PIN PLUG).

1-Bar Pressure Sensor for Manifold. Not a Boost Sensor for Supercharged.

The Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) sensor is crucial to a vehicle's engine management system. It measures the air pressure inside the intake manifold, providing the engine control unit (ECU) with information about the engine load. This data helps the ECU determine the correct air-fuel mixture to optimise engine performance and efficiency.
The MAP sensor typically uses a vacuum to measure pressure changes in the intake manifold. Depending on the vehicle's make and model, it's often located either on the intake manifold or the firewall.

If the MAP sensor malfunctions or fails, it can lead to various engine issues such as rough idling, poor acceleration, decreased fuel efficiency, or even stalling. Regular maintenance and occasional cleaning can help ensure the proper functionality of the MAP sensor. However, if it's faulty, replacement might be necessary to maintain optimal engine performance.

What fault codes does a faulty MAP sensor trigger?

A faulty MAP sensor typically triggers codes P0105 to P0109. P0105 indicates a circuit malfunction, P0106 indicates the signal is out of range, P0107 and P0108 indicate the signal is too low or too high respectively, and P0109 indicates an intermittent circuit fault. These codes combined with symptoms such as poor idle and black smoke are strong indicators of MAP sensor failure.

How do I test a MAP sensor?

With an OBD2 scanner in live data mode, the MAP sensor should read close to atmospheric pressure (around 101 kPa) with the engine off, and drop to 30 to 50 kPa at idle with the engine running due to manifold vacuum. Under wide open throttle the reading should rise back toward atmospheric. A sensor that reads flat or does not respond to throttle changes has failed. You can also test supply voltage and signal output with a multimeter.

Can I drive with a faulty MAP sensor?

You can drive short distances but engine performance will be noticeably degraded. The ECU uses the MAP sensor to calculate fuel delivery - a faulty sensor causes incorrect fuelling which leads to poor economy, rough running, and increased emissions. On turbocharged engines a faulty MAP sensor can also prevent boost control from operating correctly. Replace it as soon as possible to avoid further damage.

What does a MAP sensor do?

The Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) sensor measures intake manifold pressure to help the ECU calculate the correct fuel and ignition timing. It is critical for engine efficiency, particularly on turbocharged and supercharged vehicles.

What are the symptoms of a faulty MAP sensor?

Symptoms include poor acceleration, rough idle, excessive fuel consumption, black smoke, engine hesitation, and a Check Engine light with codes P0105-P0109. Turbocharged vehicles may also experience boost control issues.

What is the difference between a MAP sensor and a MAF sensor?

A MAF (Mass Air Flow) sensor directly measures the mass of air entering the engine. A MAP sensor measures manifold pressure and the ECU calculates air mass from that reading. Many vehicles use one or the other; some use both. They are not interchangeable.
