May need a tune or replace the map. What type of intake is it on? Some of the fast 90 have to be sealed in order not to leak.

Most of the time this is because someone tuned the MAF and not VE.

The intake is the stock LS6 intake that has never been off the motor..

Where is the MAP sensor located?
If I get a new one should go to a GM dealer or is a parts store one OK??

Thanks

The map sensor is located on the back of the intake, as a technician in a dealership i would recommend that you use a GM map sensor. I have seen multiple cases where people come in and have all this aftermarket stuff bought from autozone or napa and the stuff most of the time is bad. I recomend using the GM parts.
jsut my two cents

can you look at your short term fuel trims for bank 1 and bank 2? if so. see if the vehicle is running slightly lean. if so you need to look for any vacuum leaks. look at the pcv hose i have seen a few of those recently. if there is a lean condition such as a vacuum leak it will set this code. check for any type o unmetered airflow into the engine. if you dont know what i mean by unmetered airflow im talking about from the MAF sensor to the Intake valves any air getting in anywhere along there could cause this light. i dont see it to be real common that these MAP sensors fail but who knows thats also a possibility.
