'Bout a moth ago, pulling off the highway after a short 15 minute hop to work & coming to a stop at a light, suddenly had a terrible & low idle, around 500 RPMs. Stayed that way for the next few lights.

Thought for sure it was time to deal with the (had it for a loong time now) map code..

Forget the return trip home but everything appeared normal after that..

Last weekend, drove my daughter to work around 06:00 in the morning on a short 15 minute (non highway) hop to work. Was 9/10s asleep but felt like I had a power loss, or perhaps a shifting/flaring tranny problem, but then seemed to go away too..

Next day, all normal & thought maybe I was dreaming the day before..

So had a 1.5 hr trip/cruise planned for a Sun night & very quickly on the highway, had a clear power loss scenario, felt like a few cyls were out, or not firing. When I came to a stop to try to make it back home, idle was bad/low/ruff & had very poor power again on the highway but could still get up to speed..

Stopped at Crappy tire & picked up a map sensor 88 bucks (seen 'em on ebay for around 30..)

When I went to change it, looked like the connector to the map was not fully plugged in but loose.. Pushed it in tight & turned out that was the prob the whole time!

There is a no return policy on electrical parts, so have a spare M/S now. Since driving the car after the fix, the engine light has gone away on its own.

Came back on though since, but then went away again.. sooo no quite done yet. Used to do that when i only had the evap code..
