P0106 code Lower MAP?
Ok guys, I have a 09 SS/TC with 55k
Back in Sept my car would act as if I lost power and I would go into limp mode, no CELs, just couldn't boost past 5psi. It would only do this for a few minutes and everything would be okay. I just figured that maybe the heat/humidity might have played a part.
Well now, a month or so later, after I installed the K&N intake, Injen Upper CP, ZZP DP and tune, I throw this code (The car already had GMS1 installed when I bought it). This code does not make my car go into limp mode, I can boost well beyond 5psi if needed.
I did my searching around and saw it could be the MAP located on the lower CP. So how exactly do I get around to cleaning/checking this? Unfortunately I don't have a way/time to check this. If this was the case, would buying an aftermarket lower CP make this problem go away? For instance, if I bought the ZZP lower CP, could the code be cleared since a new sensor would go into the ZZP lower CP?
Just wondering because I also should start looking at a new clutch so I'm just trying to see how much goes to what.

I have the same code right now. I clear it and it goes away for a while. I haven't upgraded my lower intercooler pipe so I will be doing that. While doing that, I am going to see if we can clean the sensor. If that doesnt perm fix it ill replace the 3bar map sensor (as well as inspect the wiring)

Hey all! I know this is an old thread posted by me but I was wondering if I could get some opinions on what to do.
Like the first post stated, my car would act like it'd lose power and would stutter, going in and out of boost randomly without putting much pressure on the gas. Also If I'm just sitting at a light, my boost gauge would go from 20 Vac to 10 Vac, then back down, then back up. It just started doing this again, but it only seems to do it when it's raining, and months ago it would do this when it's very humid out. What exactly would you guys do? Should I just get a new sensor to put in the lower pipe? It is a P0106 code, which will stay on for a week, turn off for a day, then come back on the next day.
I have done searching around and read that cleaning it may help, but it seems like a huge PITA to get to so I would think just replacing the sensor may be better so I wouldn't have to deal with it more than I have to.
