if your tps sensor is good, it may be the map sensor

any ideas how to test a map sensor? my book says nothing about it, and the cheapest i can find it is for $175 so I'd rather know first.

go to google, type in map sensor testing, on the first page, autozone.com comes up with good testing of map sensor.
