couple months ago i had by "fix it soon!" light come on. code said MAP sensor. bought the MAP sensor but beings how im older and do my wrenchin in my driveway, ive been delaying replacing it til the weather here in west metro detroit got a little nicer.
couple weeks ago, the ABS/TC lights started poppin on sporadically. might be once i start the car. might be 10 miles into a ride. might not come one.they could come on, then i stop somewhere, start it back up and theyre off. she'd also die out sporadically when at a stop or comin to a stop.
weather was finally nice enough for me to get a few maintenance things done-MAP sensor being one of them.
what a difference! ive driven about 400 miles since and dam she purrs! no lights comin on. hasnt stalled. and the power- shes a wee bit more responsive now.
josephine is thankin me.
apparently theres a bit of time necessary for the brain system to learn it has a new sniffer? when i got all the work done and pulled out of the drive, pretty wicked spark knock on acceleration (i havent heard a spark knock since i owned a carburated engine car) that cleared up after about 15 miles.

now onto sway bar and rear suspension stuff!
