MAP sensor is fairly important because it controls the fuel via feedback.
The one on my ZJ is bloody expensive and kept failing till I gave it a bit
more tubing. They put it too close to the engine and it would eventually
break the plastic connector.

Indeed!

Hope you fixed it though. Still cheaper than replacing it with another fixer upper. :/

I'm dreading my next repair. Going to have to replace the bushings on the rear links.
Eight bushings in the most innacessable locations possible. Got the parts, but I need
to find a spot with a lift. Not going to do this on my back like I did with the front.
