MAP sensor question

[walt0023]

ok well i got my car running better now but it still is shooting a code 3. i havnt changed the map sensor yet but my car feels way slower now. could that have to do with the map sensor? and will a d seris map sensor fit on my b16??

The MAP Sensor should work on the B16A. Most all Honda/Acura Map Sensor on the older cars look the same to me and should all work.

if you look at the ECU maps, you will find out that the MAP sensor is the #1 most important sensor in the whole car. The entire fuel and timing map depends on a precise reading from the map sensor, and if its damaged, the car will run like dog poo.

the car will run like dog poo.

haha nicely put

...maybe I missed something... (pretty typical) .. did you get a new engine or get the old one running?

all the ED chassis cars use the same part number for the map sensor. from what ive found, the DA chassis integra has a different part number for its map sensor. its the one im going to be running in my hatch when i finish rebuilding.

the integra has a different map sensor becuase it is mounted on the firewall, as are 88-91 civic/CRX. the later cars, mostly OBD1 + have the MAP sensor mounted right on the top of the firewall.

i think thats what you meant to say. yeah the DC integras (94+) have the map sensor on the throttle body. all the older hondas mount them on the "control box" (thats hondas official name for it) which is a bracket on the firewall for the civic, and a bracket with a cover on the firewall for the integras. im using the map sensor from the integra, i dont know if it can handle a larger range of pressure, but i figured putting a harder hitting motor might need it.
