Diagnostic Steps:
Poor running symptoms align with MAP sensor malfunction. In some cases, a faulty MAP sensor will not trigger a code. The issue may represent separate wiring concerns requiring individual diagnosis.
Repair Solution:
VSS concerns may stem from noisy input signals caused by RFI/EMI from ignition wires, charging circuits, or aftermarket equipment. Verify VSS reads 0 mph when transmission is in Park.
Technical Notes:
