Map sensor.
 

I am trying to locate it on my ranger, but i am not having any luck...help guys? i have emissions that needs to be done by next week.

Did a test and it came up being the map sensor went and bought it so i can get rid of my CEL

Might help if you include what year truck and engine you have.

Go ahead and make a signature, it will allow people to help you a lot easier.

well the engine is obvious...a 3.0 since i am in that subforum....but its a 95 ranger.....

Anyone have a idea..... ? i cant seem to find any info online.

So... we all have a opinion toward a SHO 3.0...but nothing about a sensor?

i honestly dont know what a MAP sensor is....lol..its not MAF is it?

hey now, don't hate on my thread :lick:

I am being honest....thirty replies in 5 minutes but when i have just a simple question i cannot be helped......

But the map sensor is a true part...im having a issue now loading google for some reason so i can link you guys....

Manifold Absolute Pressure sensor is what that acronym usually stands for. Not sure if 3.0's have one but I know that they have a Delta Pressure feedback sensor of EGR (DPFE) and those somewhat commonly fail on 3.0's

Any pictures of it so i can cross reference it with what i have? and the location aswell.

that was a little exaggerated, but ok.. if no one replies, they obviously don't know, or don't want to put you in the wrong direction.. now calm down, and be patient, maybe someone will help you.

Someone just did...but then again my exaggeration is sorta needed...but like i said.. people know more about engine swaps and engines then the sensors that make the engine work correctly go figure?

and the 3.0 doesnt have a map sensor.

According to autozone and the OBD test at my old jop pointed me in this direction..

Ok further reading and I fins that a car will eather have a MAP or a MAF sensor but not both. i'm pretty sure that a 95 3.o has a MAF and DPFE sensors. the MAF would be between the air filter cover and the intake snorkel, a DPFE if I remember correctly is mounted to the side of the intake manifold.

look and see if your ranger has a mass airflow, if i does, it very well might just have a maf not the map

This is the exact part that i purchased today and what came up on the diagnostic.

LOL there is no MAP sensor that any of us are aware of in a 3.0 ranger.

Ill take a look at the DPFE sensor right now....and return this "sensor" get my money back.. if it doesnt work then im going to be slightly confused on this and wont really know what to do.

I posted two links, one for the pressure feedback sensor, and one for the a MAF sensor.. check the pressure feedback, if that doesnt fix it, shoot for the MAF..

its the DPFE sensor...i disconnected it and reconnected it and the light came off but then the light came back about 30 minutes after driving..

Yep, told you they commonly fail on 3.0's. However, I had a 90 Cougar with the 3.8L that had a bad EGR sensor. Yes, you would want it taken care of to pass emissions but the worst it does to the vehicle is the occasional stalling out, but it will start right back up no problem. BTW are you sure your vehicle isn't exempt form emissions testing, I thought they only care if it's ODB2, which is what all vehicles converted to for the 1996 model year.

Quit being a crybaby. Have you thought that maybe no one knew so they didn't say anything?

ahaha exactly what I said.
