Map sensor pipe has been a problem now for a while, originally the pipe was split so i trimmed it and all was fine but the pipe was stretched.

Now it runs lumpy in mornings from cold etc.. I replaced the pipe with a new one today and its even worse than with the old pipe. Could the sensor itself be the problem? I've cleaned out the connectors on both ends. Any suggestions.

The CTS has been replaced befor too, I'm pretty sure its MAP related.

The scrap yard I go to caught two guys robbing stuff once in the middle of the night. They broke their legs and burnt out the car they were in (apparantly).

I'd be afraid to rob a wheel nut off them.

Paid €10 for a map sensor, I'll find out in the morning if it sorted it.
