the map sensor itself has the letters A B and C imprinted on it

A is ground connects to the black/lightblue
B is sensor voltage to the green/yellow
C is the 5v source to the brown/white

im pretty sure A is black, B is green, and C is red..... if its not, its arranged in the order ABC and im sure black is ground, so next to it would be the green/yellow wire, and next would be the brwn and white.

ill check for you tomorrow morning and get back to you if im wrong

wait a sec, do i need the datalogit? i thought i could just do it with the commander...

the wire harness i got from gm is all white wires. I havent looked at the map sensor itself in a long time but if its all marked then thats all i need.
Thanx

My GM harness was all white, too. The sensor itself has A, B, C molded into the plastic.

Scale 41800, Offset 0 was a bit off for me. Not way off, but I wasn't happy with the accuracy of the reading. I think I ended up using 43500, 0 after calibrating it myself, however I recommend searching for some threads (I think mine had "dumb but lucky" in the subject) on the settings. pluto posted some numbers he found that worked well, too. I am not sure if you need the Datalogit or not. I suspect the four sensor "options" differ only in that they have different default scale and offset values, but I'm not 100% sure. Perhaps one of them has 41800, 0 as it's default and that is "close enough" for most intents and purposes.

well, with my recent mishap involving my diff(destroyed it) the map sesor swap seems like the only reasonable "project" I can do...at least it seems easy enough.
Thanx for all the replies very, very helpful!!!

yes you do need a datalogit, the PIM settings on the car is for stock for option 1, apexi 1 bar for option 2, apexi 3 bar for option 3, 4, 5

41800 0 offset is the one i used for a while from when Dragon was tuning my car.... when steve kan tuned my car he changed it to 44000 offset 357 ....
