Map Sensor Clarification (color etc)

Okay,

no PN's, but just for further clarification.

There is a Black and Grey MAP sensor.

F4TZ9F479A is the OEM number from Parts Guy Ed. (not sure if its grey or black)


Which one is the good one?

Does anyone know why?

Black is bad. Grey is good. I'm sure anything you get from Ford will be the gray sensor.

There was a TSB on it I believe.

Interesting, I had a 236 code like mentioned in the TSB, I should check out my map I guess. I just pulled it monday after a weekend trip with the trailer. I'm pretty sure mines black. It seems to run alright and has good power, boost seems ok too. Got me thinking anyway..

Talyn, I have the same part number on the map as you. Have you figured out your smoke problem yet? I am wondering if I should get the correct part number to help with my smokiness.

Unplug it and see if its less smokey.

I just swapped mine out with the same Part Number Map, I'll see if it does any better on the way to work.

Exclamation

I have this part #s in my book:
MAP Sensor
(Ford) F4TZ-9F479-A (94-98; digital)
MAP Sensor (black in color) and is F4TF-9S480-AA.
Correct MAP Sensor (gray in color) is F4TZ-9F479A - 3 Bar.
Motorcraft PN (DY708)<O</O
But I had this (pic) which is suppose to be BLACK but is GRAY and now I have the one with the "correct" number and is exactly in color as in the pic but with other number IDK its weird.
