I was just reading what the MAP sensor did here: MAP sensor - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
It says engines typically use a MAP or a MAF but seldom both. Do our P38's use both then. I know I have a Pierburg MAF and I think I have a MAP on the fuel filter body.
Anyway being bored today and playing with the car, I decided to unplug both and go for a run. I couldn't tell a blind bit of difference. No warning lights, no difference in performance, nothing.
I know a dodgy MAF will cause over-fueling, which may account for my average 16mpg, but since I've had the car on an Autologic diagnostics, wouldn't they pick up a failure in either MAF or MAP? Or not?
Mind you, they said my EAS was ok to, but EAS Unlock detects loads of faults when I click on "read faults".
Just curious.
