Yesterday i installed my CIA catless downpipe..everything was fine..took my friend who helped me install it out for a ride..beat on the car a little harder then normal but nothing that would remove tire ware. We then stopped..turned the car off and on and i noticed a CEL. went home and checked it and it was P0106/P0107. Did a quick search on the forums saw it to be the Map Sensor..deleted it and forgot about it. Well today i started my car up..was all good..turned it off and back on and sure enough the CEL poped up.

Now, i have Dejon Intake/CIA Downpipe/Trifecta Tune. im going to the track tomorrow..wil this hurt my performance? it looks like when i am half throtle or 3/4 throtle it doesnt hold boost..it negates back to zero..but when i am on it it spikes to 180-190 KPA then holds at around 140 kpa.

Should i not go to the track tomorrow? im trying to get in to the dealership today to get it replaced but i dont know if ill be able to.

 

check the sensors on your charge piping. the piping has been known to flex and break the wires on the TMAP if i recall correctly

 

this could be the problem..i dont see anything coming out of my charge pipe..hot or cold side?

 

It would be on the cold side

 

okay cool ill give it a look

i see one senser directly ontop of the cold side..i reached my hand down their (motor is extremely hot) and wiggiled it but it seems sturdy and in place. thoughts?

 

dude ive blown my map sensor 4 times! my car is stock expt. for a hks muffler. its been covered under warenty and what not. im in the process of lemon law. my case is going through better then i thought. gm will soon be buying my car back. these map sensors are bull shtttt! i am extremly disssssponted in this cobalt. i am glad i kept is stock and didint tune it! i had big plans in the future for this car but its not going to happen it just dont feel like its guna last. whats funny is i dont beat on my car at all! raley ever in full boost and its adult driven! only NLS'd maby 10 times all second to third and third to fourth!

 

Do not track the car with a bad map sensor it is not a good idea. Keep it out of boost if at all possible.

 

probably broke because you "babied" it....

 

I love reading your snarky posts, they always make me laugh...

 

 

i didint baby it. i drove it and toook real good care of it. i just expected more for the price i payed. i havint had 1 issue with my evo. besides ones that i brought up on it. i drove that stock for awhile. no issue. this cobalt is my daily driver. and the damn MAP blows after every time the dealer fixs it. i just think i got the lemon out of the batch. i love the car works perfect for my daily driver. just wish this issue wouldint keep hapning.

no cobalt bashing here

 

Let GM buy it back and get another one odds are you will not have that issue again.

 

Well its in the dealership right now

flashed it back to stock..called in sick to work and told my consult she will be getting me a job if i get fired.

my dealership had no rentals..wtf lol.

i told her i need it done tonight because im going to the track..she said no promises but she will try her hardest.

sigh...

well it is the map sensor and their is NONE IN CANADA so its going to take a few weeks to get it up from the stats..**** my life

 

this is why i dont wanna get tuned, i want new map sensors and such cause everyone seems to blow theres.

 

tuned or not you can still blow the map sensor.

 

i recently warrantied a map sensor...it was tuned...oops...

 

Did you get your tune BEFORE you had your dejon intake? It seems like alot of people who's map sensors go out have the dejon SRI.... :/

 

yeah i did...could be the reason..regardless gm is fixing it

 

I would go see who you were tuned by, or if you did the tuning yourself check out the MAF readings, especially when its HOT.

 

Vince tuned me..im one of his dealers..hes on vacation this weekend..monday ill let him look at the logs

you know your map sensor is broken when...

Your boost gauge spikse at 180-190 KPA then settles to 140KPA

btw 180-190 KPA is 25-27 psi

 

lemon law lawyers love cars that have been in the dealership for Xweeks. these MAPs suck! it takes my dealer 1-2 weeks to get the sensor and i live in the states.

if your map gos once it will go again. there not cheep if ur not covered.
