91' TPI 5.7 Driving fine then sputters and dies MAP Code 33

Car has been driving great then all of a sudden sputtered and died. Starts back up drives fine and then intermittently fails again. Pulled codes got a the normal 12 code that checks ECM, then immediately following 33 which shows as a MAP. I replaced the MAP sensor and it does the same thing. Any other sensor in the loop that would cause that code to throw or is it the ECM failing? Car starts afterwards and drives fine....really intermittent but got the same code twice now with two different MAP sensors.

Once thing I didn't do is disconnect the battery after replacing the MAP sensor, so I suppose it could be an old code. But no other codes.

It did seem like the end of the vacuum line that goes over the inlet to the MAP sensor from the intake was wasn't tight and kind of flared out at the end.
