In the almost 100 FD's I've worked on/driven, I have never had a map sensor hose come off, whether it be the original vacuum hose, aftermarket silicone, or aftermarket rubber. In fact, when i want the map sensor hose to come off, I am usually pulling and twisting enough that I worry about breaking off the nipple.

Just from the last 6 days...
Now I suspect you are going to get really angry and spew out at least one more quote I could add to this post...
I'm not sure why you choose to participate in the forum the way you do - it appears you have 2FD's, another rotary vehicle and do work on your own car. You could be someone who makes significant positive contributions to the forum...
Sorry to muck up your thread 1.3Ldreamcar - I will keep an eye out for your compression results.
ok first of all, chill out. you only waited 38 minutes to bump your own thread, and i'm pretty sure you don't need to make this decision tomorrow.
second, you didnt even say what kind of wheels youre looking at. There are a million options.
third, you need to list what your suspension set up is, what you plan to do, if you are going to go widebody, etc
and fourth: USE THE GODDAMN SEARCH BUTTON, or just browse other threads. so many people ask the same questions, all it takes is a couple hours of research. How many times did you search this topic in the 38 minutes between the original post and your bump? Ill bet that if you gave me 38 minutes to search this forum i could find 100 posts that would give you your answers... in fact, you should have searched before even starting this thread, and you would have saved me all this typing.

We had to call a tow truck because we thought the motor was blown and didn't know to check the map sensor.
Not to get off topic a thread jack but mine has popped off as well (more than once). The first time I was racing on a road course and I thought for sure the motor had blown before I inspected and saw the hose had popped off.

Wow, that's really strange. Maybe DPO's (dumb previous owners, or maybe even current ones ) dont know how to secure vacuum hoses to nipples? Or maybe they are using oil soaked hoses.

Looks like I was right...
Another quote to add to the list of immature, angry things stokedxiv has posted.
Wonder if another one is headed this way...

I agree with shawnk, there's no need to be rude. How about we keep it civil for the forums sake?

Many, many, years ago when I had Mazda replace my engine; the hose popped off about 1 week after getting the car back. They reused the old hoses; it was basically hard as a rock so it had no grip on the MAP sensor nipple. I suspect a lot of people have a similar issue. Nothing a new line couldn't take care off..
too bad this is the internet lol
