Well the ECM uses many variables to determine when to shift the transmission. What do you mean the MAP is out? Like not in the car or not functioning properly? Yes, all of the things you mentioned like the MAP sensor and unmetered air or air entering after the MAF could cause issues.

I think you can still buy the connector through GM and you won't need to replace your wiring harness. If that doesn't work out a salvage yard may be the next solution. Lots of cars/trucks use that connector and MAF so it shouldn't be hard to find.

I would agree with what was said above. TPS or MAF sensor.

I wouldn't recommend getting a transmission from a salvage yard. That transmission is over 15 years old and I'm sure it's in no better shape than yours. I'd save up for a rebuild if anything ends up being wrong with the trans.
