manifold pressure sensor — A sensor that reads pressure changes in the intake manifold in relation to barometric pressure. Also known as manifold vacuum sensor, manifold absolute pressure sensor, pressure differential sensor, or vacuum sensor … Dictionary of automotive terms
manifold absolute pressure sensor — (MAP) A sensor which monitors the engine s intake manifold pressure and transmits the data to the engine controller. A pressure sensitive disk capacitor used to measure air pressure inside the intake manifold. The Map sensor sends a signal to the … Dictionary of automotive terms
pressure differential sensor — A sensor that reads pressure changes in the intake manifold in relation to barometric pressure. Also called a manifold pressure sensor, manifold vacuum sensor, or vacuum sensor … Dictionary of automotive terms
Intake — An intake , or especially for aircraft inlet, is an air intake for an engine. Because the modern internal combustion engine is in essence a powerful air pump, like the exhaust system on an engine, the intake must be carefully engineered and tuned … Wikipedia
MAP sensor — The examples and descriptions in this article apply strictly to four stroke cycle gasoline engines. Other engine types such as diesel, or two stroke cycle can differ in the exact implementation, but the general theme still applies. The manifold… … Wikipedia
