Is your MAP sensor vacuum line connected? Mine fell off a couple times and it idled and smoked like an old locomotive.

wraith

where can i find this sensor. sorry i'm a noob

TYSON

On the firewall, next to the brake booster. Check to make sure the vacuum hose that runs to it is connected on both ends and isn't cracked or something. It connects to the bottom of the upper intake manifold after the throttle body. Kind of hard to get at that end, follow the line by feel.

wraith

yep it was blown off. connected it, and now when i try to start the car it stinks to high heaven of fuel. i think it's flooded, i'll use the search to fifure out the rest thanks guys.

wraith

Check your ground off the back passenger side of the UIM. Mine just fell off while I was driving.

The car started running like ****. My engine torque brace stripped the bolt out where the grounds go.

Now I have to pull the uim and retap the hole.

I ended up just moving the grounds down to the other bolt.
