Thank you Clint! I was having odd idle issues, surging, and couldn’t figure out what was going on. Did a simple voltage test after inspecting the air line, and my #2 wire was fluctuating from 2.5-1.7… all over the place. Going to order a new sensor today. This channel rocks, keep putting the knowledge out there. All of us weekend warriors appreciate it!

eBay, amazon, napa, O'Reilly, autozone, all sell cheap ass Chinese junk sensors. Motorcraft or bust when it comes to sensors on these trucks, old and new. Great video Clint, these video series will be super helpful to a lot of people.

Thanks for all the 7.3 knowledge. Keep 'em coming.

Thank you Sr. For the information.

Awesome video Clint! Been chasing this issue with No Cel on our 02’. Just posted a video with what fixed the mystery. It was the Map Sensor. Replaced the hose as well. Like a brand new truck again, biggest difference was the throttle response and power is back!! Great channel.

You are also right on getting good parts the first time get ford motor craft. Parts like power relays or glo plugs you also talk a little bit on how a person can tell when they need these items by watching your red light on the dash how long it stays on it stays on5to 7 secs you problem ok lf it still hard to start need gloplugs thanks for the show 20 yrs ford tech l.f.k.

Awesome video as always! Question, is 5.2 volts on #1 and 2 volts on #2 of the map too high?

I rebuilt my turbo with a KC DIY kit. Truck ran better. Next year I decided to put a turbosmart wastegate actuator on. Started throwing a P1249 PCM boost and actual boost both showed peak boost 22-23 PSI Installed a boost fooler. Same reading. Bought a different boost fooler Same result. Put a new OEM MAP sensor and now the PCM only sees 15 PSI and no more P1249 code. Nothing I had read about throwing that code suggested that it could be the MAP sensor.

Hi, I'm getting code U1262 and P0603. On my 2002 7.3l, ( forscan ) gages "yes fault" SSBAF/SS1F Shift Solenoid #1 and #2. Thank you for all you do.

Thanks. Motor means electric motor engine means truck or car engine lot of people will say I need to get gas when you have a diesel no you need to get fuel or diesel not gas thanks good show ihave two of these great 7.3 diesel I might add I had a 6.9 that ran over 450 ths mile no break down it had no turbo not much power but stayed together

@custom works my question is on the second pin I had someone reving slowly to 1200rpm & the voltage stayed between 1.55 to 1.60 does that mean I have a bad sensor? Plz do respond like u always did so that I can order new sensor. Thanks for always responding in timely manner.

I had about 2.4 volts at idle, and it never changed. I replaced the sensor, and the new one was exactly the same. Any idea where I look to find the cause?

Using FORScan what should be my map sensors base reading with key on? My map is reading 14 but my baro is reading 17 . One of them is off cause as I understand they should be the same.

I’ve got a 1996 and P107 code. When I tested the number 2 pin I was getting 2.5 volts and when revving up to 1200 rpm I got no change whatsoever. So does that mean my sensor is bad? I was just reading a reply to my post on The Diesel Stop and a guy said that the 94-97 Powerstroke Map Sensors operate differently than the 99-03. He said the 94-97 generate a variable frequency with pressure rather than variable voltage with pressure. He said your method of testing only applies to 99-03. Any help would be appreciated!

when testing pin #3 it reads 0 volts and stays there. the other 2 pins tested within range. Does this mean my sensor is bad?!?

Where can I find a engine harness P#1C3Z12B637CA? I can’t find one. It’s for a 2003 F350 with California emissions

Good night

With my map plugged in it will not accelerate past 1200rpms. Once I unplug the map sensor I can rev a lot faster but it does have some hesitation flatness to it. I replaced the map sensor and the exhaust back pressure sensor and no difference. When I start it up regardless of being hot or cold it lopes. Until I get the rpm’s above 1000. It does the same thing in neutral. What else should I look for. I think pcm may be bad. It just happened instantly it wasn’t like it kept getting worse.

Mine did the same thing. Pretty much instantly lost a solid 3mpg after sitting at the body shop for 6weeks. I've been chasing the lost mileage and over richness every since.

Clint, everyone is always talking about their boost pressure. Who cares? I recently fixed a couple boost leaks and want to know how much of a difference I made. What map pressure should I be looking for on a stock truck? Hard acceleration and cruising?

Great info sir ! I have 1997 F350 7.3 turbo 5spd standard crew cab .My question to you is where can I purchase a scanner for this obs truck? Also genuine Ford parts are harder to purchase from Ford for the later years up here in Canada 😞 any information on where to obtain a scanner would be greatly appreciated !

I have the same question. If I'm checking the voltage from the wiring, is the pigtail bad? How do you check the actual sensor? I did, however, check the responsiveness of my truck without the MAP connected and it seemed like it was more responsive. With the MAP connected, it seemed to dog a little more. Might be in my head!

e he is back probing the pins through the plug

Sorry for my ignorance...I am a week end 'mechanic' . I have 3 questions 1. The picture you show of the pin numbers is from the perspective of looking at the connector, not the sensor correct? So if looking at the sensor it would be a mirror image...#1 pin on the left, not the right. It obviously wouldn't affect the position of #2 center pin since there are only 3 pins... 2. Do you not need to check pin #3? 3. How do you suggest making electrical contact to the pins since the plug is still attached to the sensor?

How does this reading work if the sensor is unplugged? I'm getting a reading of 5 on first pin and nothing on the second pin. Ty in advance.

@CUSTOMWORKS7.3PSD

The MAP sensor should have 5 volts going to it, and be returning 0-5 volts when reading a pressure of 0-51 PSI. KOER Remember that it is an absolute pressure sensor, so at engine off, it should read atmospheric pressure, which should be about 14.7 PSI at sea level.
