Can anyone tell me where the MAP sensor is, (not the MAF or the Throttle sensor). Is it on the rear of the inlet manifold and does it have a short vacuum hose running to it. OR is it somewhere else
Any help would be really great.
Thanks Chris Wellings

The Figaro doesn't have a MAP because it has a MAF. An EFI system will use either a MAP or a MAF as the primarly means to calculate intake mass air flow and density but rarely both are used because they serve the exact same purpose. I have read that some car makers will use a MAP to detect the correct functioning of the EGR valve but this car's system isn't that sophisticated.
All the best.

EXCELLENT
Thanks for that, I can get on with things now and probably work out what's wrong.
