Stranded with bad map with sd tuned 99 ls1 My map came undone just a little and let me stranded and i wanted able to get it fixed there so i had to get the car triple a'd . No biggie as i have the plus package but my question is this .
Any way to have a map go bad or unplugged and be sd tuned and not get stranded ?
Last year my map did go bad and the car just idles and takes not throttle input .
I thought dodges were mafless tunes , how do they get around it if the map goes bad and get ls1 pcm be made to not get stranded with a bad map if your sd tuned ??

You are talking about getting speed density tuned so I am thinking you mean the Mass Air Flow sensor gave you the issue and not the Manifold Air Pressure sensor? If it was just the MAF there are a lot of tuners out there who tune SD and a lot that actually prefer it with a forced inducted car. If you are actually talking about the MAP sensor, I do not believe you can tune your car without that especially supercharged.

i already am sd tuned and have been for 2 or 3 years . The map sensor went bad last year and i was stranded , the car would just idle , any revs and it stalls or wants to stall .

Without having anything to measure the air for the car I wouldn't think there is a way to run the vehicle without the MAP if the car was strictly SD tuned.
What sensor are you getting that is failing? I had a DPE 2.5 that I would have issues with. Got it from a buddy who bought it for boost plans for his C6Z and it would randomly flat line. Now we know why he got a good deal on the used sensor.
Took a good day of chasing around and swapping in the old map sensor before I realized it was junk.

Can you just make an adapter fitting for the intake and mount the MAP on the firewall where it would be easy to get to? I know it won't stop the MAP from going bad, but at least with a backup in the glove box you won't get stranded if it does.

last year i had a map fail this year it just became unclipped or unplugged . But was just curious if it would run and drive if it went bad . And how the other brands do it , or how did gm do it in the last 3rd gens that were sd tuned.
