Delphi PS10242 Manifold Absolute Pressure Sensor

Delphi PS10242 Manifold Absolute Pressure Sensor

The Delphi PS10242 manifold absolute pressure sensor is built for Ford, Lincoln, and Mercury applications that rely on accurate intake manifold pressure data for engine management. With OE heritage from Delphi and a bolt-on design, this MAP sensor supports precise signal delivery for drivability and emissions control.

Key Features

• Manifold Absolute Pressure Sensor for emission control and engine load sensing
• Black connector with a rectangular female connector design
• 3-terminal blade connection for secure electrical contact
• Bolt-on mount with plastic body construction
• Includes the MAP sensor and instruction sheet
• OE experience and engineering knowledge carried into the aftermarket part

Detailed Description

Delphi PS10242 is a direct-fit manifold absolute pressure sensor for a wide range of Ford, Lincoln, and Mercury vehicles, including Ford F-150, Ford Bronco, Ford Ranger, Lincoln Town Car, and Mercury Grand Marquis applications. It reads manifold pressure so the engine control system can calculate load, helping maintain proper fuel delivery, ignition timing, and emissions performance. This part cross-references Standard Ignition AS1 and Walker Products 225-1007 for the same application.

Built with a black rectangular connector, female terminal interface, and bolt-on mounting style, the PS10242 is suited for service replacement where the original MAP sensor has failed or is sending inaccurate readings. Delphi’s OE background helps ensure the sensor follows the fit and function expected in 1985-1995 Ford F-150, 1985-1994 Ford Bronco, and 1985-1992 Ford Ranger applications, along with many other listed Ford, Lincoln, and Mercury models.

What It Helps Fix

• Rough idle caused by incorrect manifold pressure readings
• Hesitation or poor throttle response during acceleration
• Hard starting related to inaccurate engine load input
• Check engine light conditions tied to MAP sensor faults
• Fuel mixture and drivability issues from a failing pressure sensor

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify connector shape, terminal count, and mount type before installation. Confirm the vehicle’s emission calibration, especially on 1985 Ford E-150 Econoline, E-250 Econoline, F-150, and F-250 models with California Emission System notes, as well as the 1990 Lincoln Town Car without California Emission System note. Inspect the vacuum source, wiring, and intake connections during replacement to avoid repeat faults.

Quality Assurance

Delphi draws on more than 100 years of OE experience and supplier relationships with major automakers, with aftermarket parts informed by original equipment knowledge and engineering standards.
