Default Eating map sensors

Any ideas why my car would be eating map sensors?? It is procharged but only sees 8.5 lbs of boost. If I put a new map sensor in it, it will run for about 10 minutes then it tells me high current on map sensor and dies. The measured voltage is always 12 to 13 volts so I am out of ideas. I have measured the wires with a vom and all was good. Anybody with any ideas??

Should only have 5v in and then 0-5 for signal back to the computer. You either have a short to batt or a bad computer.
