Sorry it took so long to reply .. busy at work and the run up to Xmas .. you need to check the MAP sensor is working correctly !
ELECTRONIC CONTROL UNIT (ECU)
The ECU utilizes an integrated circuit containing the digital fuel injection control chip and an analog-to-digital converter to translate information from the sensors. The fuel injection program is stored in a Read-Only-Memory (ROM) chip.
For any given manifold pressure and engine speed combination, the memory provides a fuel injection duration for optimum combustion. The ECU also monitors other sensors to modify the basic speed and pressure signals so that cold starting, mixture adjustment and other areas of engine operation can be controlled.
ENGINE LOAD SENSING
As the airflow entering the engine varies, the pressure in the plenum changes. This change in pressure is monitored by the manifold pressure sensor. The manifold pressure sensor sends a signal that indicates the degree of engine load to the ECU.
The manifold pressure sensor is fitted with a separate diaphragm to compensate for changes in barometric pressure. The manifold pressure sensor is located in the ECU and is connected by a hose to the intake manifold balance pipe.
MANIFOLD PRESSURE SENSOR (MPS)
Disconnect the battery. Pull the connector from the MPS. Using an ohmmeter connect test leads between the terminals. Compare resistance readings to specifications.
If readings are not to specification, replace the MPS. Reconnect the MPS connector and battery.
MANIFOLD PRESSURE SENSOR RESISTANCE
Terminals...........................Ohms
7 & 15...............................85.5-94.5
8 & 10...............................346.5-353.5
7 or 15 & Ground.................0
8 or 10 & Ground.................0
Manifold Pressure Sensor.....At right front corner of engine compartment.
Hope this helps
