Okay, an update to my car’s problem of running rough just before shutting down.
Having done a lot of work I finally managed to trace the fault – I think.
The MAP sensor (Boost Pressure Sensor) on my car has failed.
The output volts is 4.9 and it doesn’t change.
I have a vacuum test pump and tools, and the change in pressure (+ & -) make’s no difference.
The ohms resistance across all three pins stays exactly the same too, with an emphasis between the Earth and Signal contacts.
Regardless of any amount of pressure changes and hitting it with a hammer, there was no difference.
I have one sensor on order, but as things stand it will take an age to be delivered. I’m now about to order a second unit, using an Express Delivery. The first to arrive will be put into use. The second will be carried as a spare in my pack-up.
I’ll update all as things progress.
My special thanks goes to Paul99 on LandyZone (see his input) for his MAP Test as shown on YouTube. That was an enormous help. Thanks Paul99.
