FS: MAP sensor for Mazda 3 $120

[pingwin77]

I picked this up a few months ago to clear a CEL and it ended up not being the right sensor. It was in my car for a grand total of 18 hours. This is the sensor that hangs off of the top of the air box. Since I lost the receipt and have not need for it, I just want to get rid of it. I paid about $150 and would like to get $120 but make me an offer that you think is fair.

Just for clarification, that's an ambient air pressure sensor, not a MAP (manifold absolute pressure) sensor.

Ah...Thanks. Goes to show how much the guys at both Morrie's and Walser know. Both places I talked with called it a MAP.

 

[dmention7]

Yeah, those parts guys tend to be gomers. haha

They likely meant MAF, or Mass Air Flow.

 

[dmention7]

But that's not it either....

 

[DrWebster]

OK, so I Googled the numbers, and it is indeed a MAP sensor...for the Millenia, Protege and 626.

That's odd.

Perhaps the same sensor is used to measure manifold pressure in those applications, but in the mazda3 they just left the sensor open to atmosphere to measure ambient pressure.
