    89 Trans Am 3bar sensor in Torqhead LT1 Procharged

    Hopefully a easy one... MAP sensor is reading about 10pa low. Found what I thought was the right offsets for the sensor, but reads 85kpa key off and is idling in the 40s, not right. Anybody else done a 3bar TA Turbo MAP in one of these and got it right?

    DELPHI PS10081/18023 is what I installed, got it from Rock Auto for an '89 Turbo.

    Those part numbers don't show up with a search on here and they don't cross reference with anything that will have a tune that HPT will have been able to read.

    But I did find this. I can't open your tune to see if your numbers match. Linear 315.58 offset 1.11.

    Just because a sensor is a 3 Bar (or 1-2 Bar) doesn't mean they have the same values.

    Edit: Just noticed your post count, so you probably already know this and I misread your last post.

    This 3 bar is 100% new to me. Was a post in here that had been talking about the 89 Turbo MAP and had the math to go with it. I thought I had the same sensor they did there. Your not wrong bud, lol

    Theoretically, 3 Bar for the same application should have the same values, but it seems like the sensors for old applications are all over the place. If the values I posted don't work, you may have to apply known pressure to the sensor, measure the voltage and do the math.

    If I did the math correctly, the values I posted will give you 88.614 kpa. What altitude are you at?

    You may want to check your voltage at the sensor key on engine off and do the math. If it works that way, check the wiring.

    I'd bet those numbers get him a lot closer to reality KOEO.
