The truck stumbled pulling into the parking lot. then I barely got the truck to back into a parking spot. It was sputtering and shaking like it was about to cut off. It sounded like old steam engine tractor. No codes at this point so I cut it off the tried to cut it right back on and got a check engine light. I read it and it was P0106 manifold absolute pressure.

So I went to auto zone and bought a new Map sensor and nothing changed. Still no start

Now the thing is the new sensor was shaped alittle different then the one I pulled out of the truck.  

And the main thing I noticed is the new sensor wasn’t even close to being tight when I pushed it down in the hole. The old one was hard to pull out.

im lost

Here is the issue. I would check the maf fuse then i would meter out the wires. There is ground, ref, power and some 5v wires. 

Im not convinced it is the Baro may be the MAP sensor in the intake. It is bolted down right next to the throttle body.

I just checked and I have mine turned off but it says there is a reset and a performance test the engine does based on temp so mine is set to 260* so never test. 

Maf shares some wires with the internal map and Iat.

I tried a new and correct Map sensor.  And it change nothing.  I could be wrong but I don’t think a sensor would do this.  It’s shaking the engine like it bent a rod.

The  map sensor only reads the vacuum in the  manifold.. If the engine is running rough,  the  vacuum is low.. This is not a fault of the sensor.. 

Too many people shotgunning parts without being properly diagnosed..

Sounds like a lifter failing to me. Pull the valve cover off and run it.

I don’t think throwing a 35 dollar sensor on there in the middle of a parking lot 15 mins from your house where all your tools are.  Is shotgunning.  It’s trying to work with what you have.

I see your point.. You must have a P0300 misfire code also. Have you found the problem?

Going to crack it open pull a valve cover tomorrow and see.  Been to busy with work and other things to look.  Luckily my mom still has my dads old car so I can drive it.  Take my time and try and do it my self.  I’m just going to buy a DOD kit and pull both heads.  Maybe a cheap cam and stick a LT4 cam in there.   I just can’t find any info if a LT4 cam losses a ton of bottom end like the old LS9 cams did on trucks.  I would like to supercharge my 6.2 in a year or so so that bigger fuel lob would be great

Kind of sounds/looks like my 16 did when it broke a push rod on cylinder #4.

It was a broken valve spring.  I had it towed back to my house and hooked up my VCM scanner for HP tuner.  To look for a miss fire.  Sure enough #5 was missing.  So I pull the drivers side valve cover and luckily it was just a valve spring.  5.50 for a new spring and 60 bucks for TSP valve spring compressor tool.  I rushed shipped it so it was a-little more expensive than it should be.  As long as the push rod it fine I should be on the road in a day or two.

      I did the new thermostat after doing a 'flip' for a year. Runs as cool one way as the other in the summer but in the winter there is a bit of a floor. Yellow with the new 70 C thermostat. My data over the life of the unit to date. Still need more cooler. Anyway that floor helped both winter fuel economy and shift quality in the winter. I found it a good balance.

      Evan Williams Bottled in Bond   So pouring the last of a bottle of Evan Williams Black label last night I set off the the state store for a refill only to be denied the by an empty shelf. Rats.    What the did have was a bottle of Evan Williams Bottled in Bond. 100 proof. Hum, a few bucks more but a known distiller. Lets have a swing at it. ( I have before )    Cracked it open and pour a serving over ice. Hum.... more heat, yes. More alcohol naturally. But the barreling not the proof brings the taste and this one came up short.    Oh is was familiar but the heat ran the barrel over like a Peterbilt runs over a squirrel. Could use a heavier toasting of the oak me thinks or perhaps a longer barreling. Who knows. But what I can say is ice or a water back isn't the answer. What kills one kills them both. Sad. It is a pleasant drink....if you have little to compare it to.

      Bridgestone vs Goodyear tires?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      I've had exactly one set of Bridgestone. Lasted five year and 125,000 miles and had I known better 15oK would have been a cake walk. I would have bought a like set had they not tripled in price since the first set. I removed them at said mileage with 5/32" remaining in dead even wear all four. They were fuel efficient, quite, comfortable and predictable.    Early on I got a very good alignment checked at least once a year, sometimes twice; kept the tires properly inflated, balanced and rotated. And I've found that many a tire issue can be avoided with great maintenance practices. Lot's of tire dealers will do rotation and balance (simple) for free for as long as you own the tire they sold you so no excuse not to.    Bead prep, alloy integrity and stem health have a huge impact on inflation stability. There are more mountings done poorly that perfectly. Finding a good tire guy is gold and as important as finding a tire you like.    That 3X price increase now two sets of "other tires' later is starting look like a bargain.      Bad maintenance kills more tires than bad tires.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      Atlas, you kill me As aggravating as a project like this can be you have been unable to hide your fascination with learning and using that angst against this beast like a Ninjitsu Master. It amuses you, admit it now.      BTW, love your writing style. 😉

      I gotta say, I'm enjoying your narration. The troubles you've been having are amusing as you describe them. It's good to see that you're finally getting some satisfaction out the old beast though.
