    Need help finding correct map sensor

    I have a 1987 GLHS with a super 60 system installed when I got it. Been running great, drove it 650 miles yesterday with no problems. Started it this morning and getting code 13 saying map pneumatic failure. All the numbers on current map cross to nothing. Need help finding a good part number to get a new one.

    You need to find a map for a 1989 V6 Turbo Trans AM/Firebird, the 20th anniversary. Stick to name brands.

    Check you didn't blow off the vacuum line to the MAP, make sure it pulls vacuum and if you have a baro solenoid in series, bypass it and see what happens.

    That's the least of my problems now, stopped at the rest area 20 miles east of Hayes KS, now the starter is bad, or cables at the starter. Got power going through the relay to the starter, but starter doesn't even click. No parts stores around here has one in stock.

    Check the small wire going to the starter. The other thing to check are the connections under the battery tray. Try unplug and plug back in to see if the connections are good.
    As for the map sensor try:

    16040749, 12223861, 12223861K for gm cross reference at the part store

    If you don't have the heat shield in place, you probably melted the solenoid.

    Re: Need help finding correct map sensor

    Bingo, we have a winner! Never had to mess with the starter on this car since I bought it, so I didn't know if it had the heat shield on, assumed it did being a turbo car. I guess that's what I get for assuming someone else used correct parts. I guess running that fast for that long finally did it in. Although we drove them to SDAC last year like that, no problem. Got the starting problem fixed, now I just need a new MAP Sensor.
