so this morning i went to a junkyard and got a MAP sensor. well, i actually got 2 of them because i figured one of them would be disgruntled. i was right, the first one i pulled off of a Seabring was bad and the one i pulled off of a V6 Avenger works. hey, the price was right, $2 for 2 MAP sensors.

i get back home and install it. my car works, yay. i still get fuel cut at 0 psi though. so i give in, and go to Shit Shack and buy some goodies...

a big thanks to "turbotoys" for posting this link a while back:

i decided it was worth a shot. before, i thought to myself "that's too simple it'll never work"

well, just like Auckum's razor, the most simple explanations tend to be the correct ones.

i built this thing. took me less than 5 minutes to build it and install it. i think the total for parts was less than $5.

it works. really well. too well.

this has made my day.

that is all.

Are you still using the missing link?

I use a similar conecpt... but slightly different wiring...

You do NOT need a missing link when you do this... not needed. The only thing a missing link would gain you is protecting the MAP for the chance of getting damaged from boost.

LOL, so, uhm, how does thar work Mr. Electronics? You're right, it looks WAAAAAAAAAAAAAY too simple.

i still use a missing link. it's not needed, but it might make my MAP sensor last a little longer. in theory the MAP sensor can withstand a good amount of boost, because it's designed to resist the occasional intake manifold backfire which can be quite a bit of pressure for a short period of time. regardless, i've decided to let it stay in there.

Nice! Mabye I can build one of these for my Z. It would be cheaper than the greddy emanage harness that does the same thing.

I have been hearing a lot of people are having issues with the Missing Link. I've never had a hickup since day one. Weird!

OK, so which would be better the star fcd or this one. I am going to be installing an electronic one along with my ML because the ML sucks ass.

best time so far 14.3 @ 101.1mph(no traction)
fastest 2GNT with a hitch! until proven wrong...
