General Are MAP Sensors Genric? help.

[clarabow]

I got a Mreg, Cinquecento 900cc SX, and my MAP sensor is gone, can't afford one from Millauto (£50) so I called up a salvage yard and they say they got one(£17).

However the numbers on the bottom of the sensor does not match up. does this matter?

Need reply ASAP, to let em know, thanks guys

from the same engine, just has different numbers on it, however, the guy at the garage said he had 2 there, and they both had different numbers.

Should be OK. I think they used 2 or 3 sources. But you could 'phone or PM Fluffy the Impaler on ClubCento 01332 345869. I'm sure he does them for less than £50 anyway.

Cool, thanks for that fingers, I'm getting one tomorrow from a scrappy, will see if it is any good... Also, I may need a RPM sensor, can't find one however, is there another name for it?

crank sensor. Top Dead Centre / TDC sensor.

without the engine wouldn't run thuogh, so are you sure yours is broken?

Try the MAP first. Crank sensors either result in non starting or sudden misfires without the ECU light going on.

Well I took the car to LSUK and they tested it for me, the current problem was the MAP, however, there was a historic fault, RPM sensor.. I'll sort MAP first, and see what happens

I've just taken the Map Sensor off my M Reg 899 cc SX and fitted it to my W reg [FONT='Arial','sans-serif']Seicento Sporting. I checked on the Fiat ePER first and they have the same part code for both cars. [/FONT]
