post the exact code number. There are multiple codes for the MAP sensor. Lets isolate which one we want. To find out why the engine will not start on the first try you will need to test it while the fault is occurring. You need a noid light on the injector to check for pulse, a spark tester to check for spark and a fuel pressure tester to show pressure. Please don't leave a generic reply like "fuel pressure ok" as thats up to us to decide. We need the results in their entirety as there is a lot of data there you may not know about but we do. Find out what you are missing and we can chase down the culprit from there.
