Compare the values. Is the difference between the values less than the specified value?	3 kPa	Go to Step 7	Go to Step 12
6	IMPORTANT: The Altitude vs. Barometric Pressure table indicates a pressure range for a given altitude under normal weather conditions. Weather conditions consisting of very low or very high pressure and/or very low or very high temperature may cause a reading to be slightly out of range. Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF. Observe the MAP sensor pressure with a scan tool. The MAP sensor pressure should be within the range specified for your altitude. Refer to Altitude Versus Barometric Pressure . Does the MAP sensor indicate the correct barometric pressure?	-	Go to Step 7	Go to Step 12
7	Observe the MAP sensor pressure with a scan tool. Start the engine. Does the MAP sensor pressure change?	-	Go to Step 8	Go to Step 12
8	Turn OFF the ignition. Remove the MAP sensor from the engine vacuum source. Leave the MAP sensor connected to the engine harness. Connect a J 23738-A Mityvac to the MAP sensor. See Special Tools . Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF. Observe the MAP sensor pressure with the scan tool. Apply vacuum to the MAP sensor with the J 23738-A in 1 inch Hg increments until 15 inches Hg is reached. See Special Tools . Each 1 inch Hg should decrease MAP sensor pressure by 3-4 kPa on the scan tool. Is the decrease in MAP sensor pressure consistent?	-	Go to Step 9	Go to Step 12
9	Apply vacuum with the J 23738-A until 20 inches Hg is reached. See Special Tools . Is the MAP sensor pressure less than the specified value?	34 kPa	Go to Step 10	Go to Step 12
10	Disconnect the J 23738-A from the MAP sensor. See Special Tools . Does the MAP sensor pressure return to the value observed in step 4 or 5?	-	Go to Step 11	Go to Step 24
11	Inspect for the following conditions: Incorrect cam timing-Refer to Timing Chain Alignment Diagram for the correct timing. Restricted exhaust flow-Refer to Restricted Exhaust . Worn piston rings-Refer to Engine Compression Test . Did you find and correct the condition?	-	Go to Step 26	Go to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections
12	Test for an intermittent and for a poor connection at the MAP sensor. Refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections and Connector Repairs . Did you find and correct the condition?	-	Go to Step 26	Go to Step 13
13	Disconnect the MAP sensor electrical connector. Observe the MAP sensor parameter with the scan tool. Is the pressure less than the specified value?	12 kPa	Go to Step 14	Go to Step 18
14	Measure the voltage from the 5-volt reference circuit of the MAP sensor to a good ground with a DMM. Refer to Circuit Testing . Note the measurement as "Supply voltage". Is the voltage more than the specified value?	5.2 V	Go to Step 19	Go to Step 15
15	Connect a test lamp and a DMM in series between the 5-volt reference circuit and the low reference circuit of the MAP sensor at the harness connector. Measure the amperage with the DMM. Note the measurement as "Amperage". Is the amperage equal to the specified value?	0 mA	Go to Step 21	Go to Step 16
16	Remove the DMM from the circuit. Connect the test lamp between the 5-volt reference circuit and the low reference circuit of the MAP sensor at the harness connector. Measure the voltage from the 5-volt reference circuit at the test lamp to a good ground with the DMM. Note the measurement as "Load voltage drop". IMPORTANT: Before any calculations are performed, ensure that all measurements are converted into like units, for example volts/amps or millivolts/milliamps. Subtract the "Load voltage drop" from the "Supply voltage". Note the result as "Supply voltage drop". Divide the "Supply voltage drop" by the "Amperage". Is the result more than the specified value?	5 Ω	Go to Step 20	Go to Step 17
17	Measure the voltage from the low reference circuit of the MAP sensor at the test lamp to a good ground with the DMM. Note the result as "Low reference voltage drop".
