very cool. and awesome camera work. most other car repair videos suck on camera placement.

I recently fixed a 95 Ford Taurus that dies rightb away after starting. If I pump the gas pedal it stay on. If I stopped pumping, it would die. I suspected Map sensor, sure enough the voltage did not change as I applied vacuum to it. To be sure I rigged up a map sensor from a GM 4 cylinder truck. They basically work the same only the connectors, and sizes are diffrent. After that I was 100% sure it was the problem. Only then I bought a new one, and problem was solved.

Thanks for the informative video, make sure the paperclip probe doesn't touch any grounded surface of the engine or chassis when ignition is turned on.

@richpin06a No, some EMS (Engine Management Systems) use MAFS (Mass Air Flow Sensor) instead of a MAP

great video

@hp11208 NO! there are lots of diffrent ways to measure the air on an engine, just to mention some theres KV (karman vortex) MAF (mass air flow meter) and AFM (air flow meter, not mass).
Dude sounds exactly like Ray Romano. Everybody Loves MAP Sensor Testing.

@richpin06a ok now if the map was failing would the engine light show up, or you just have to go by the syntoms described?

@omarG19100 There are codes that will set like P0105,P0106,P0107,P0108 and P0109 if the map circuit malfunctions.
