Try getting the things below checked out-

Possible causes include a bad O2 sensor, excessive fuel pressure (bad fuel pressure regulator or plugged return line), leaky fuel injectors, dirty air filter or restricted air inlet, or a defective coolant sensor that prevents the engine management system from going into closed loop mode

Did you replaced the coolant temperature and the oxygen sensor with an OEM parts?

Also have you checked the actual fuel pressure? Get this done and comeback with the readings. Do the test with and w/o vacuum to the regulator-

if you have no codes then there is nothing wrong with the car, the MAP sensor changes the air fuel ratio for different elevations, if your getting a code for it something is wrong with it, the code means the MAP sensor circuit, not just the map sensor
