SHOULD THE ENGINE DIE

should the engine die if you unplug the map sensor vacuum line? with the vacuum line unplugged the car will start and then immediately die. Is this normal?

Re: SHOULD THE ENGINE DIE

I'd say that's probably normal. Have you googled what the MAP sensor is for? It's pretty damn important.
