You I have a 2003 Dodge Ram 1500 Hemi 5.7L V8 the ETC light comes on flashing. I have gotten a few dofferent codes and they all mentioned problems with the Throttle Actuator Control. It was still...

code p 0106 refers to manifold absolute pressure (MAP) sensor / Barometric pressure (BARO)sensor---range performance problem====causes --intake / exhaust leak--wiring---MAP sensor ---BARO sensor code p 0108 refers to same sensors--high input===causes ---wiring short to positive---MAP---BARO sensors --ECM
removing and replacing the battery can corrupt the ECM so use a scan tool to reset it

Code 34 and 51

Code 34 is for the MAP sensor voltage being low which means the sensor is unplugged or faulty. Code 51 is for a problem with the memory chip inside the computer.
If the engine computer is failing it could set the code 34 even if nothing is wrong with the MAP sensor.
The computer and MAP sensor would need to be checked out.

Stopping at red light the car starts to stutter as I accelerate

Your confusing MAP with a MAF sensor . You can not clean a MAP sensor .
manifold absolute pressure sensor (MAP sensor )
mass air flow sensor MAF you can clean .

admissions = emissions !
accelerate again and it starts to stutter. Try the TPS - throttle position sensor .

I need to replace the map sensor in a 2.4 alero but I do nor know where it located.

Here is a diagram of where the map sensor is located on this particular vehicle, i have also included the removal and installation procedures as well

Hope this helps....

REMOVAL PROCEDURE

  1. Remove the air cleaner outlet resonator.
  2. Disconnect the manifold absolute pressure (MAP) sensor.
  3. Remove the MAP sensor attaching screws (1).
  4. Remove the MAP sensor vacuum hose (2).
INSTALLATION PROCEDURE

  1. Connect the vacuum hose (2).
NOTE: Refer to Fastener Notice in Service Precautions.

  1. Install the MAP sensor attaching screw (1).
Tighten
Tighten the screw to 6.5 N.m (5.7 lb in) .

  1. Connect the MAP sensor connector.
  2. Reinstall the air cleaner outlet resonator.

I am trying to locate where the map sensor is on my 2006 Chevrolet express 1500 4.3 van. I need to install a new one have the part but need to know where it goes.

I don't mean to be critical, but if you do not know where the MAP Sensor is, then you could not possibly have tested the MAP Sensor circuits. If the MAP Sensor circuits have not been tested, then there is no way that anyone can be certain that your vehicle actually needs a MAP Sensor. (Many MAP Sensor codes cannot be fixed by replacing the MAP Sensor itself.) Then again, you might just get lucky.

To answer the question you asked, The MAP Sensor is located on the passenger side of the intake manifold near the rear of the engine. You must remove the doghouse to get to it.

I recommend that you also review this article: What Else Could Be Wrong?

I wish you luck!

Code po105 pops up i had it reset and every 3-4 days it lights back up what does it mean ?

Generic code results from http://www.obd-codes.com/p0105 :

P0105 - MAP Circuit Malfunction

Manifold Absolute Pressure/Barometric Pressure Circuit Malfunction

The MAP (Manifold Absolute Pressure) sensor is part of the fuel management system. It reacts to changes in engine manifold pressure. The PCM (Powertrain Control Module) monitors the MAP sensor continually to properly run the engine. Changes in engine load require changes in the amount of fuel injected, and timing of the ignition system, etc. An engine under load has more manifold pressure(or less vacuum) than an engine that is coasting. As the load changes, the MAP sensor voltage signal to the PCM changes accordingly. To check the MAP sensor operation, though, the PCM watches other sensors to verify that the MAP sensor is working properly.

For example, the PCM compares the TPS (Throttle Position Sensor) signal to the MAP signal to verify the MAP signal isn't "sticking". If the PCM doesn't see a MAP sensor change immediately follow a change in the throttle pedal sensor, it knows there is a problem with the MAP sensor and sets P0105. Or, if the PCM notices that the TPS indicates the engine is under load, but the MAP signal indicates that the engine is "coasting" it, again, knows there is a problem with the MAP sensor or TPS and sets P0105.

Symptoms of a P0105 check engine light code may include:

  • Poor running engine
  • Engine runs rich
  • Engine won't idle
  • Engine backfires through tailpipe
  • Engine misfire under load or at idle
  • MIL (Malfunction Indicator Lamp) illumination
  • In some extreme cases there may be no symptoms other than MIL illumination

A P0105 DTC could be caused by:

  • MAP sensor vacuum hose disconnected or plugged
  • Bad MAP sensor
  • Bad TPS
  • Damaged or problematic MAP sensor connector
  • Damaged or problematic TPS connector
  • Damaged wiring
  • Short to reference voltage on signal circuit of MAP sensor
  • Loss of ground to MAP sensor or TPS
  • Open on signal circuit of MAP sensor
  • Bad PCM

Using a scanner or code reader, turn the ignition on and engine OFF; what does the MAP sensor voltage read? It should be about 4 Volts for sea level. If you are at a higher altitude, it should decrease about half a volt or so for each 1,000 ft. of altitude (this will vary from model to model) Or if you have a separate MAF (Mass air flow) sensor on your vehicle, they are usually equipped with a Barometric pressure reading. If so, the Baro reading should match the MAP reading (they both measure ambient air pressure). If they're roughly equal, then, check for Freeze Frame data of the MAP sensor (if available).

NOTE: Freeze Frame data is the PCM recording a fault when it happens. It captures the readings of the various PIDS (parameter identifiers)available to troubleshoot what happened. It's like a recording of the problem as it happened. At idle a typical MAP sensor Voltage reading should be about a volt, and at WOT (wide open throttle) it should approach 4.5 to 5 Volts. As for the TPS, at idle, the voltage reading is about 1 Volt or less. As the throttle is opened the reading will increase to 4.5 Volts at WOT. Do the two readings make sense? For example, if the TPS reading on Freeze Frame data shows 2.5 Volts (indicating partial throttle) does the MAP sensor indicate a reading that isn't at either extreme? Using the Freeze Frame data (if available) compare the MAP reading to the TPS when the problem occurred. This can help you identify what happened

If you have no access to Freeze Frame data then check if the MAP sensor voltage changes when you apply vacuum to it. You can do this by mouth or a vacuum pump. The voltage should increase as you apply vacuum. If the reading doesn't change as you apply vacuum, make sure there are no obstructions in the hose to the sensor. If the hose is clear, the MAP sensor is usually bad, but it doesn't rule out the following from causing the problem: Does the MAP sensor appear to be stuck at less than .5 Volts? Then:

NOTE: This code shouldn't set if the MAP is stuck at extremely low voltage, however, I'm adding it in because there's no way to know for certain for which vehicles a low voltage condition may set a P0105.

  1. Inspect the wiring harness and MAP sensor connector. Repair any damage
  2. Unplug the MAP sensor connector. Also, at the PCM connector, remove the MAP sensor signal wire and check for continuity to the MAP sensor connector. If there is infinite resistance, then repair open in MAP signal circuit. If the signal wire has continuity to the MAP sensor connector, then check for 5 volt reference voltage to the connector and a good ground. If both are present, then re-install all removed wiring and replace the MAP sensor.

Does the MAP sensor appear to be stuck at full 4.5 voltage? Then:

  1. Inspect the wiring harness for damage. Repair as needed
  2. Remove the MAP sensor signal wire from the PCM connector. With a voltmeter measure the voltage with KEY ON ENGINE OFF. Is there 4.5 Volts? If so, unplug the MAP sensor and recheck. If it is still present, then repair short between the signal wire and 5 volt reference wire.
  3. If unplugging the MAP sensor causes the voltage to disappear, check that the ground is intact. If it is, then replace the MAP sensor due to internal short.

1999 4.3 vortec map sensor removal & install, does it just pop out? not sure if its the problem,starts and idles fine, push on the gas and it starts to rev than cuts out, bogs down, let go of the gas...

Could be several different problems things causing this,Disconnect map sensor and try pushing on gas if map is bad problem will be gone or different,you could also have TPS sensor,Distributor problem,or fuel volume problem,Are there any codes set?
