Good afternoon, pls how much is MAP sensor for CRV? My car rpm was fluctuating at idle and my mechanic scanned and told me MAP sensor needs replacement

julieme:
MAP was replaced and the car is running fine now
GAZZUZZ:
Should be the other way round. Are you sure of your diagnosis? In over 10years I have only replaces a faulty MAP once on a Toyota carinaII. Those parts seldom fail.

Had to go back a bit to understand where you were coming from.


Your problem can not be solved remotely.


Your devices MAP MAF and vtc actuator share common voltages Ground and +5v +12v seems you have a loss or drop in those values which is triggering codes making your technician replace parts that are not bad.

Change technician to Somone who can use a digital multimeter and a scan tool at the same time and possibly an oscilloscope .


Good luck

Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by Fabbyboy: 8:32am On Sep 27, 2020
Please help!!! My 2012 corolla came with Cold air intake. This was as a result of modification done to the car by the first user in US. This was actually done to replace the regular air filter in corolla, Therefore producing a very deep vibrating sound when i step on the throttle just like powerbike. My question is would this have much effect on my MPG.. i mean would it be consuming more fuel.. ?? If yes, what do you suggest i do?? Thanks

The air filter is looking really dirty. In most cases it is a washable (soap water and dry) try cleaning it. Your fuel consumption remains the same.

There's a trick I learnt a long time ago when my cooling fans failed as I was travelling, I just turned on my cars heater put it on full blast brought down the windows and faced the vents out the window, the trip was uncomfortable but temp stayed withing drivable limits. I also had to drop speed to 80km/hr
can this trick be used when a car is over heating when themostat is bad and stuck close an in an emergency in the middle of nowhere
