The MAP sensor (Manifold Absolute Pressure) is used for recovering exhaust gases that re-enter the intake manifold. These gases are partially burnt.

It often gets dirty and sends incorrect signals. Nearby is the EGR valve.

This area can easily become contaminated with residues resembling carbon. You have two options: clean it or replace it. First, locate it on the right side of the engine, in an easily accessible position, just below the radiator fluid reservoir, secured by a single screw.

You will see the pipe connecting to the EGR valve. From there, a manifold branches off, and this part gets very dirty.

The MAP sensor costs about £15, and once replaced, you can try cleaning the other and keep it for future use.
