map sensor

i just pulled the codes on my truck and i am still getting code 122 map sensor vacuum leak. i replaced the sensor and still get the code the vacuum line looks good. so now where do i look? also will this cause a cel and rough idle/staling while at idle? i had my upper intake off not long ago to replace the pcv and put a new gasket on the intake would that have any thing to do with it?

DTC 122: KOEO TPS circuit below minimum 0.6 volts. CM TPS circuit has intermittently failed below minimum 0.6 volts.

You are barking up the wrong tree. It's a TPS problem not a MAP sensor.

Talking about your 93? code 122 is TPS circuit below minimum 0.6 volts, nothing to do with "Map".

Where'd you get that result?

i was thinking 122 was map sensor but i was wrong, now with the correct question i replaced the tps and still get the code. i installed it correct with setting it on and rotating till the screw holes line up and tighten them.

Did you check for proper reference voltage from the PCM? Should be approximately 5v. If for some reason its really low or non existent due to a pinched/cut wire or a corroded connection you wouldn't get the required min sig return voltage and it throw that code with a good TPS.

Your wire colors are different however,

Resistance "ground" to "signal wire" should be 3.0 to 4.0k, throttle fully closed (harness connector removed naturally).

Slowly open throttle rise to full open = 350ohms, should note smooth change throughout range.

Did you remember to screw on the ground wire to the upper intake?

Left side of the Intake manifold lower mid way about. There's also a ground wire on the hood left hinge. Those are the ones I can think of that could have possible been dis connected.

I would do a resistance check from the PCM harness to the TPS connector. Also, was the battery disconnected for a period longer than 5 minutes when doing the repair work?

I would check Reference voltage cold and then after the engine has reached operating temperature. Also, has the Throttle position Screw been adjusted from Factory setting?
