Can anyone detail what the Sensors; Map, ERG do?
[color=navy]After dropping fuel tank and looking at fuel pump... I noticed the pump would cavitate due to poor check value / siphon design. I called the techs at Master/ Airtek to comfirm design and modified.
The pump is fine and tank cleaned in the process of saving $200.
