2.7 and throttle body and map sensor codes were diagnosed
Plugged catayltic converter .
How would I check it
Codes stated map sensor and throttle body
Back pressure test the exhaust system .pull out a O2 sensor an screw in a back pressure gauge , or you could hook up a vacuumn gauge. You mite want to take it to a repair shop an have it done .
watch this .A plugged cat will cause MAP sensor false code .

Catalytic plugged how would you check that
I personally would drop the exhaust header pipes off the exhaust manifolds, then start the engine ... but it would be loud!
Plus could break header bolts , rusty !
Hooking up a vacuum gauge would be easiest !But you probably don't have one

What engine is in the Sebring? It could be camshaft timing off because of a bad timing belt (or chain), it could be a failing fuel pump, or a clogged fuel filter, it could be clogged or blocked air intake, or clogged exhaust system ... and on and on we go!
2.7
Codes stated map sensor and throttle body
The map sensor does not sense aerial pictures of roads! MAP stands for "Mainifold Absolute Pressure," which is used for adjusting the air-to-fuel ratio, which will not let the engine run right if the MAP sensor is defective! The throttle body controls the amount of air coming into the engine. The TPS (throttle position sensor) is another control which must be working right ... but they often go intermittent!
Map sensor and connector has been replaced throttle body has been cleaned and so has the maf sensor
How did we jump from MAP sensor to MAF sensor?
Just cleaning as much as possible
So would a bad throttle body cause my problem
That seems unlikely to me. The engine runs, but not very high RPM, is that correct? Is it difficult to start, or does it run better without a load on the engine (such as in neutral or park)?
Car starts easy
Can Rev it to 3 or 4000 a few times then it will not Rev at all with the pedal on the floor
Try removing the air cleaner filter. Is it damp or wet? Will the engine run okay without the filter installed? DON'T drive it like that, at least not very far or long! But the real question is, does the engine run okay without the filter?
Let me check it
No its dry
It has rpms and then it flatlines this is crazy
Only codes we got were for the map sensor and throttle body
The plug to the throttle body was not locked in place so we did that
Have a new throttle body but waiting to put it on until I have heard all my options
Seems like the 2 codes went away after replacing the map sensor and securing the plug to the throttle body
I would plan on taking that throttle body back for a refund!
I once worked on a Plymouth Breeze that did about the same thing. So, I put a CURRENT METER in series with the electric fuel pump. The fuel pump would start out at some current level, but the longer it ran, the less current it would take ... until it stalled out altogether (which took about 3-5 minutes). The whole time, the fuel pressure was falling ... and falling, until the engine stalled because of lack of fuel pressure! Has anyone CHECKED your fuel pump current draw lately? Power window motors sometimes do the same thing! You could roll them down, but going up, they would go slower and S-L-O-W-E-R until they would stop ... but would go again after cooling off a while! So, being as curious as I am, I analyzed the power window motors, after taking them out. The problem was, when the motor brushes are mostly worn down, the brush pressure exerted by the springs falls of to near zero, as the brushes get warm! It's the same story with electric fuel pump[s!
How can I check the throttle body
So if the fuel pump was failing it will eventually stall
No haven't checked the fuel pump yet
Crazy how it idles pretty smooth revs a few then nothing with pedal on the floor
This is quite frustrating
Just pull the fuel pump relay, and bypass around the removed relay contacts using a current meter connected to two unused spade connectors that give you something to connect to. You won't even have to jack up the car, or crawl under it ... unless the fuel pump is stalling out!
Ok will do let u know
