The malfunction indicator lamp is constantly coming on, and just recently the car died while I was driving down the highway. The dealership said the computer needed to be reprogrammed, but I didn't even make it out of the parking lot before the light came on again. The dealership told me that the computer didn't "take" the reprogramming & did it again. Well, the car only lasted 24 hours before dying again, and now they are telling me it is the MAP sensor that is bad. Does this sound right to anyone? Will a car have problems starting, and even die while being driven if this sensor is bad? brian mac Novice Jul 1, 2008, 6:40 PM Post #2 of 5 (1390 views) Re: MAP sensor Sign In Absolutely it could do that! Thats exactly what happens when those go bad. Make sure you trust the dealership - sounds like they may be just grabbing at straws. Did they charge you for the re-programming? ecschame Novice Jul 2, 2008, 11:51 AM Post #3 of 5 (1385 views) Re: MAP sensor Sign In Nope, it wasn't the MAP sensor. The car still doesn't run. Now they are re-timing the car... dave284 Enthusiast Jul 3, 2008, 10:58 AM Post #4 of 5 (1379 views) Re: MAP sensor Sign In Sounds if the computer could be bad itself, I would think the dealership would have better diagnostic tools. ecschame Novice Jul 3, 2008, 6:43 PM Post #5 of 5 (1377 views) Re: MAP sensor Sign In I just traded it in!
