What is wrong with my car?
Wednesday, February 16, 2005 7:36 AM
about 2 weeks ago my TBS sensor was replaced because it went out. And it was fine for about a week. Now my check engin light comes on and the track off light goes on. When i am at a light and start moving will go to about 4500 RPM and hold for about 1 second befor it goes goes into 2nd gear. It will also slam when put into drive and reverse i think because the track off light is on. Also when i start my car in the morning it sounds like the engin goes in and out for about 5 minuts. I had auto zone scan my car and i got a MAP sensor malfunction. Is thins what it is and if it is where is this sensor so i can replace it. Thanks.

^^ doubly ditto.

Don't worry about your tranny, that's normal. You need to replace the MAP sensor like it says At least, that's where I'd start.

Did you recently install an intake and forget to plug the IAT sensor back in? It sounds like you have the symptoms.

No, i had my intake in for about a year and never had a problem. I checked and the IAT sensor is in the pipe.
