Default MAP Sensor identification

Is there a way to identify a 1bar, 2bar, and 3 bar MAP?

I think I have a 2 bar MAP, but it is way off according to my CALMAP program. The input voltage is 4.68V.
I am wondering if I have the right MAP sensor installed.

how about vs its resistance?

Thanks, that is a help. Does anyone know what the current rate the IAT sensor uses? I will need that to convert the amount of resistance to volts.

im almost certain it is a 5v constant supply and the computer reads what is left of that on the way back after the resistor.

OK....... so how would I use that to convert the resistance values to volts? Sorry about my electrical stupidity

ummmmmm

i think the way it works is there is another resistor in the computer with a steady value you will have to find. once you do that and you know the total voltage drop is 5 across the two then you can find the constant current across those two particular values and then use that current on that resistance to find the v drop across the first resistor

http://www.eatel.net/~amptech/elecdisc/resistrs.htm

it would be easier to just measure it with a voltmeter acoss the iat sensor

This was wierd.

When I unplug the MAP I measure 5.0V supply voltage. As soon as I plug it in, the supply voltage drops down to 3.4. And my calmap shows incorrect pressure.
I put a 5V power supply(from radio shack) tapped into the supply voltage, and it is now working correctly!

Just thought I'd post incase anyone else with a Accel DFI was having the same problem. It has been that was for 4 years now .

i have a stupid question if i was running 13psi would it be ok to use the two bar or would it hurt to go with the three bar.

If you ronly running 13psi, then run the two bar. you will have better resolution than the 3 bar.
