Soldered in MAP sensor, but still have intermittent boost issues

Anyone still have issues after they solder it? I know its the wires because I can "jiggle" them and boost comes back, I am thinking its maybe a break in the wire somewhere else or maybe bad pin crimp? Just wondering if anyone else has had a similar issue.

The jiggle test is pretty definite, something is loose. You need to isolate it by holding the wires while jiggling.


My bet would be near where the sensor bangs into the A/C.

Yes, I’ve had similar wiring issues , I isolate the section of wire, from connection to connection and replace the entire length, if it’s brittle and broke in one spot it’s gonna break again!

Its the upper map sensor, and I know its the wire furthest to the passenger side. Should I just replace that wire?

If it has a continuity issue then yes.
