Tuning Putting induction kit on Cinq sx 900cc

[matto1992]

I put a universal air filter on my car and put it where my air box use to be and about 2 weeks later my MAP sensor went. Is it because of the air filter?? And is it normal for them to use more fuel??? Thanks matt

Probably not. MAPs don't seem to worry overmuch about aftermarket filters -- I hear that Alfa MAFs dislike them with a vengeance.

The fuelling thing could just be the weather.

If you put the new filter on top of the gearbox, then it will have had no effect on the map sensor.

Was it the sensor or the pipe full of fluid that caused the failure?

It was the sensor because was plugged in a modis and it came up with that fail code.

Careful, the fact that its not behaving doesn't mean the component itself was the cause.

Remove the MAP pipe and blow it out over clean paper to make sure its not contaminated.

Visually check the pipe and the connections for splits.
