hey,
can someone if anyone post a pic of the location of the map sensor on the 305 v8. my 85 ta is telling my i have a code 34 and i checked the vaccum lines and found no apparent leak. also could the barometic pressure sensor have anything to do with this code. I have tried going by the diagrams in the chiltons manual but you have to be a rocket scientist to read them..oh wait that could just be cuz i am an idiot sometimes

 

Hmmm, I don't believe there was a TBI 305 in '85....so you either have a carb or TPI, of which neither has a MAP sensor.

Isn't 34 for MAF sensor?

 

Yep if its a T/A it has a MAF sensor, look for the plastic duct in the air inlet with the box under it and 5 wires going to it.
It'll say "BOSCH" on it

 

ummmmmmm you sure dan.............

not trying to be mean, but i beleive all CC cars after 1981 have a MAP sensor

my carbed 1987 LG4 had one..............................

TPI cars have MAP sensors.................

 

ok thanx,
but i am pretty sure that it is the map sensor. its a carbed car code g if that makes a difference

 

The MAP sensor was used on speed density control schemes. The very similar BARO sensor (as they were called when used on carbed cars) should be mounted on the firewall near the right side eof the engine bay. There is no hose connected to a BARO sensor.

Carbed engines also used a form of the same type of sensor, but it was called a pressure differential sensor. They were mounted on the firewall near the power brake booster, and should have a vacuum line attached.

 

ok thanx for clearing that up vader

 

Vader,
thanx, yeah i was able to find the baro sensor(i am hoping you mean the barometric pressure sensor) any way at this point i need to get a s*#t load of repairs done being that i failed inspection and dont feel comfortable at this point to get to involved in ripping stuff of my engine :hail:
oh yeah, this is unrelated but i'll ask anyway, how do i add a graphic to my signature

 

Crap, you're right. I totally forgot.

 

oh...........well you were kinda correct thanx to vader's insight



they werent known as MAP but what vader said above
