Stoney871 Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 Intercooler hose. Ford only sell it with the metal part that the sensor goes into and costs about £60. Go on eBay and buy a silicone hose which will last forever. http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=111413770860&alt=web Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stoney871 Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 It's the MAP (manifold absolute pressure) sensor http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/FORD-1-8-TDCI-FOCUS-MK2-C-MAX-GALAXY-S-MAX-INTAKE-MASS-AIR-PRESSURE-MAP-SENSOR-/261470505347?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item3ce0db4983 MAP sensors help measure and maintain the correct intake vacuum pressure in the air intake manifold. As the intake pressure changes while driving, the MAP sensor will change its voltage or frequency to adjust the rate of air intake. As a result, the proper mixture of air and fuel are able to be mixed and exploded in the piston chamber to provide the energy for the internal combustion process. The MAP sensor is similar to older car components such as the vacuum advance diaphragm or the mechanical distributor.Read more : http://www.ehow.com/info_7742622_map-sensor-car.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stoney871 Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 Fit the MAP sensor first and you may well find that the other problem will sort itself out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
salsheikh Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 if you tee off that small pipe you can add a boost gauge! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
