I'm new to the slant-6, and I definitely want to convert to a MPFI setup. Reed, I like what I'm seeing here in regards to the Ford MAF setup. I still have plenty to read, though!

The '05 Impala I used to have had the PCV plumbed into the plenum just behind the throttle body. It also had a MAP sensor, probably as a check against system vacuum draws from the plenum.


Just wondering - are you the same guy who used to post on Riceboypage.com with a Mk III Supra, or another fan of the same book?

Different Gibson fan there–I've never really been in to the import scene. I'm also on FABO, Garage Journal.

For years GM had the MAP sensor primarily as a means to test the EGR system. The pcm would open the EGR valve on hi-speed decel & look for a change in eng vac. It could act as a backup load sensor if the MAF failed. On newer cars it's also used to verify MAF readings (compare speed density tables to MAF tables in the pcm)
