If a MAP sensor has a catastrophic failure the computer should ignore the signal and assign a set value to that input. This will turn on the check engine light and put the vehicle in what is referred to as a "limp home mode". With that said I have seen a few isolated cases where the map sensor was melted and the 5 volt refferance signal was going straight to ground. In the cases I'm referencing the vehicle would start and run for a few seconds then stall. I have seen this condition twice on a 7.3L powerstroke diesel in E350's.

Can the map sensor cause an s-10 to lose engine power?
Yes....the MAP sensor tells the computer the amount of pressure or vacuum in the engine. This changes with throttle opening....etc. If the sensor is bad the settings will be bad. The MAP sensor can be tested for free at AutoZone.....and you can just take it in. They don't need it on the car.

Can a faulty MAP sensor cause stalling?
The MAP sensor - another frequent cause of stalling or non-starting. This measures the air pressure in the manifold. You can test it - if your car won't start, just unplug the electrical connection from the MAP sensor. If it starts, replace the sensor. MAP sensor details. (It may act as though the fuel pump is not working properly - starting, then quickly dying).

Why on your 1991 camaro the car runs all right at idle for about 30 seconds with map sensor vacuum line unplugged with it plugged in it immediately stalls could it be the map sensor or something else?
It sounds like the MAP sensor is bad. Make sure there is no cracks or holes in the vacuum line and if it is fine, replace the MAP sensor.

After replacing the starter on your 1994 Grand Cherokee Laredo it will crank right up and then die even while giving it gas. Any ideas on what could be wrong?
MAP sensor going bad will cause that exact symptom, try unplugging the MAP sensor, if the vehicle will run with it unplugged then you know the MAP sensor is bad. My 88 Dodge Aries did the exact same thing.
Where is the map sensor on 99 Acura TL?
The MAP sensor is on top of the throttle body. as you are looking at the engine from the front of the car, it is on the right side of the engine. The sensor says "MAP Sensor" on the top of it. very convenient.
