Thread: Map sensor interchangeability

The number of mine is 16254539, none of the parts stores around me have that one in stock. Is there any other number that will work that I can see if the have?

Do a google search gmpartsdirect sells for $36

Yeah but that will be over a week to get here from the states to Canada.

I'm pretty sure any other map with your year of Prix will work

I do happen to have one that looks the same from a while back, i'm sure its a 2 bar as i was looking for one for my truck off ebay and was sent the wrong one. The only number it has is 1006H01 on it. I did hook it up and the car was really rich and the idle surged, so I don't think its the right one. Google didn't turn up anything but one dead end also.

Order the one for 36 dollars from gmpartsdirect and then run without the MAF plugged in until it shows up

Hmmm, I wonder why this one I have didn't work? Its the same connector, mabey its a 3 bar? Or possibly a one bar? It looks so close to the same you have to look close to notice any size difference.

Pits called open loop, when one of the map,maf, o2 sensors is wacky, the computer goes into open loop and uses a predetermined afr to run.

well yeah, then your car constantly run richer than is needed and runs like crap. unless you tune to run in open loop

tweeder, try calling Lordco Lordco Parts Ltd. - British Columbia's Source for Auto Parts

the closest store to you would be in prince George, but it wont take a week just to pass through customs as they are a BC company. Im sure they would be glad to help you out, and im sure they would overnight it if you want.

ps, I use to live in kitimat as a youngster. I love the drive between terrace and prince Rupert, waterfalls everywhere, just awesome.

heres a side by side comparison, the pic looks distorted but they practically are the same size.

Yeah we have a few parts stores around here just didn't want to spend another $100+\- on another sensor. And I don't want to goto the wreckers as they are rip offs and you never know how the parts will work.

That would be me, I assumed it was with the maf, coolant temp and o2 for loop decision.
