    How high/low is it? Can it get a clear feed of cold air? There's nothing covering it or blocking it is there? Sounds like it may not be getting enough air or the air is far too warm

    Disconnect the battery (if you've got your radio code) for 30 mins. Let the ECU clear itself as if the map sensor had oil on it.(I'm guessing from a K&N filter?) It'll have messed with the mixture ratios

    Either the ECU has adjusted the mixture or the oil that was present has gone! Good result either way :)
