hello I just recently got a 94 ford t bird. I am new to the car and I haven't had any luck on diagnosing the problem. the car runs great with the map not plugged in but when I plug it in it will idle but I cant touch the throttle. the car isn't throwing any codes so idk were to start.

 

Ford MAP sensors generate a frequency that the computer monitors. If it is malfunctioning or out of range performance is affected.

Usually when performance improves when we unplug that sensor it is because the ECM substitutes a fixed figure so the vehicle can be driven to a repair facility..

 

so your thinking the map sensor is bad is there any way to test it without throwing money at it.

 

You would need a meter that reads frequency and most folks don't have one . Those sensors are not that expensive, but it would be prudent on your part to have a shop check and verify that it is malfunctioning.

 

I don't have those there 120 here. and shop rates here are high. I'm very mechanically inclined just never dealt with this issue so its new to me.

 

Tell us how you decided to take the MAP sensor out of the system.

 

it was already unplugged when I got the car. my grandfather bought it at a auction and ended up not wanting to deal with it and gave it to me. I had to replace the drivers door hing the headlights the hood and the panel they were mounted to also the exhaust donuts.

 

Ya got me there !
Shop around an get some estimates. Not all places charge the same amount for parts.
