bad map?
I unplugged the MAP sensor and took the truck for a drive. The truck felt exactly the same as it always did, the only difference was the CEL came on. If the MAP sensor is bad would/should the CEL come on? If not, could this be mean the sensor is bad because it is running the same?
Thanks guys,

Tim, correct me if i'm wrong, but isn't another test (just to double check map) disconnect the line and plug it. Then drive around and it should be ******* a bit. If it's *******, map is good. Also, you could pull the line and put your finger over one end and blow a bit of air from a compressor in the other side and see if it can hold come pressure, or just replace it.

yes you could pull the hose off it. Did that once on accident after doing a GP on that side. had the acceleration of an IDI. I was really nervous until I remembered that I didn't hook that back up!

At least that is how I understand the theory.
