MAP Sensor

As I posted previously, the headgasket in my '96 Voyager (2.4L)
recently blew. When it did, the Check Engine Light came on. The fault
codes are 13 & 14, indicated a MAP Sensor or related problem.

My question is, when the head gasket failed, did it ruin the MAP
Sensor (requiring replacement) or will the problem likely clear up
once the head gasket problem is addressed?

Thanks!

Have you checked to make sure the map sensor connector is connected/not
broken when the head was removed? that code is for both vacuum and
electrical related. Normally meaning a broken or disconnected sensor.

Hey Glenn,

Thanks for the reply. The head gasket hasn't yet been repaired. I was
just trying to figure if I should budget in buying a new MAP sensor
while I was at it.

The check engine light came on at the moment the head gasket blew and
the codes it returns are the ones indicated above. So, I figured the
MAP sensor had been effected. Is it possible that it's just due to a
vaccum change owing to the blown gasket?

Anything is possible but I would highly doubt that!!

 

Not sure why but, with the headgasket fixed, the check engine light
went off and stayed off.
