Dumb Question

Okay, I know this is a really dumb question, but.... What does a M.A.P Sensor do? someone told me that if it was bad it would cause a bad idle, Is this true?


Thanks in advance,
Robert

M.anifold A.dsolute P.resure sensor. It measures the preasure inside the intake manifold to measure the engine load. If there is low vacuum then there is a high load requiring a rich fuel mixture. And vice versa.
