New map sensor not fitting

robc1976 · 07-04-2012, 12:57 AM

I got a new map sensor today and the harness will not plug into the new one because the raised notch inside the new one (pic 2) is underneath the #2 pin and in the old one (pic 1), the notch is underneath the #1 pin. Is this a different map sensor...it looks identical except for that notch in the plug area. Can I just Dremel the notch out or Dremel the connector a bit?

Figured it out, they gave the wrong part...it goes on top of the manifold...I asked for the map sensor on the charge pipe....oh well...I was going to rep,ave this anyway lol!!

I am actually glad they gave me the wrong part....this sensor was totally gunked up....really bad! Map sensor on the charge pipe is not real bad...cleaned it just for good measures.

can I get the part # for both of these sensors? I'm thinking of replacing them just for good maintenance. HM for each sensor?

Sure, just give your dealer the MFG# (or buy it at ECS, lot cheaper)

Map sensor (on top of manifold):

Boost control sensor, one on charge pipe.
