Guess I'll make that call. Installed an 830 over the last couple of weeks, this MAP sensor is the final piece. Thanks!

Chip! Your information re the JPI MAP connector was exactly what I was looking for. But, I'm also searching for the pinout. JPI references their harness wire color - but if you roll your own... Any chance you can describe the pinout? Thanks a million! Peter
