I have a 1995 VP 5.0 Fi. Yes, the dreaded Ford 5.0 liter.
Have been chasing an issue with the motor staying running. Will start right up, idle and dies after 15-20 seconds.
Hooked up the Ford EEC-IV tester. Showed code 22 which was MAP sensor. Of course, the Ford MAP sensor is "obsolete" with Ford. They had a replacement part number. Purchased one for >$100.00.
When installed, it runs, but the idle speed surges between 800 and 1200 RPM, with no throttle activity on my part. Just for kicks, I took off the new aftermarket MAP sensor and installed the old Ford one. It srarts, does not surge, but once again shuts off after 15-20 seconds. Will still start right back up.
Now, with the old MAP sensor installed, I get a code 11 (pass) however I get a 22 (MAP sensor) wwith the new aftermarket one installed.......
My question is what does the MAP sensor sense, and has anyone else had an issue with the aftermarket sensors? Any suggestions?
