Pontiac Repair: Map sensor, vacuum lines, rectangular shape


Question
Where is the Map sensor located on a 1999 Pontiac Bonn. SSEi. 3800 Turbo. My car will just dies driving down the highway. I'm told this could be the problem? I've also been told it could be a coil.
Thanks

Answer
Hi
The MAP sensor is located on the left side of the Supercharger (standing on the passanger side of car).
It is a small rectangular shape (about the size of a credit card) but thicker. It'll have 2 vacuum lines going to it plus an electrical connector.
It COULD be making your car stall. It will USUALLY set a code.
1 bad coil should not totally stall your car, it'll make it really run bad, REALLY bad.Almost stalling it.
I Hope this helps
