Map Sensor question

I noticed on my car scanner that my calculated load stays at 2.3 even if I increase fan speed , turn on headlights and radio. Is this a sign that the MAP sensor may be bad?

What happens when you adjust throttle (driving?)

Calculated load seems to increase proportionately.

Are you getting bad gas mileage? If you dont see any issues, dont fix it, sometimes scanners missreport readings or tell you information that you decode incorrectly (been there done that.....)

Not bad mileage, around 16 or 17 in the city. I used to get 18 or 19 mpg city driving. It is just the calc load reading use to respond to any extra load. I guess just wait and see. Thanks for your input.

I will check mine next time I have it and the scanner out.... we can compare the load reading, altho that is pretty low...... didja air your tires back up from winter?
