HELP on a sensor im not sure of !!!!
 

Hi, im new to the site so i wont waffle on.

Upon inspection of a w reg Impreza Turbo 2000 bay which i brought a couple of days ago, ive seen a sensor which is on the left hand side. which is connected near the suspension strut. it is a purple colour. One of my mates recon its a map sensor. is this a modifcation? it seems that is is part of the original wiring loom, however it seems that is should have 2 bolts but theres only one bolt which holds it as there isnt anywhere for the other bolt to fix to?

can anyone help?

Pics would really help us get you an answer mate.

ok good thinking. i will get a picture tomorrow as im not with the car at the moment. if your on tomorow, stop by and check it out for me mate. thanks

MAP sensor - Manifold air pressure, tells the ECU what air presure is in the inlet manivold, vacuum or boost, and how much. The car comes with one. I don't know it if has 1 or 2 bolts though, I think 2 or it had some other clip thingy?

There are aftermarket MAP sensors with boost control kits or ECU's, or even changing a pre 97 car's map for a later one as it has a higher top limit for boost.

Oh, thats alright then. i will in time most probably change a few bits but wanted to make sure i had a standard car to start with. Thanks for the info guys, heres a picture of the sensor in question anyways.
