MIL ON : Code P0101

Has this as an intermittent problem. 99% of the time it happens while going uphill under load. Code lists out as MAF : Circuit range performance problem. The MAP value is always the same in the freeze data. It does change when viewing live data though. It never shows a negative pressure in the intake though even when going downhill with a closed throttle where I would think the engine would draw a vac in the intake, so I am thinking that it is possibly the real problem.



Typical freeze data read with an Actron CP9145 scanner.



TPS : 70 - 73.7 % - RPM : 3000 - 3480 load : 50 - 59% MAF : 11 - 12.9 MAP : 26.9 "Hg Speed : 40 - 46 Mph



MIL light shuts off after 3 restarts and it may go 2 weeks without it coming on again.



It has had a new set of plugs, wires and the intake gaskets were changed out with no effect on the code (done more as a preventative anyway since I had some time to work on it and this problem doesn't seem to effect the drivability). Cleaned the MAF and swapped it with a different one, same readings with the new unit so I swapped them back.



Figure I'd ask for other opinions.


Shep, MAP is in the intake on the pass side. KOEO it shows 26.9. Idle shows it at 13.4 - 12.2. It seems to track OK with throttle position though. TPS is clean with no opens through it's range. Just want to be a PIA. I was hoping that it was a bad harness connector or bad vac. line. Checked them over and nothing wrong there.

That is why I'm thinking the MAP is the problem. I think I have one that will fit off another vehicle so I'll just swap it and look at those readings. I was up in your area for Americade.

Well finally had a chance to work on the beast. Tossed a new MAP in and checked the readings. Had 29.2 KOEO with a new one. Idle showed 11.4. Ran it through the gauntlet and no light. Will see if is stays off.
