• Terminal Type: Blade terminals for secure electrical connection
• Single rectangular female connector with three male terminals
• Bolt-on mount type for straightforward installation
• Durable plastic body material for corrosion resistance
• Includes instruction sheet for installation guidance

Technical Details and Compatibility

The PS10242 MAP sensor features a black rectangular female connector with three male blade terminals, providing reliable electrical contact. Its bolt-on mounting design allows for a secure fit in the intake manifold area. Constructed with a plastic body, this sensor resists corrosion and withstands engine bay conditions. Compatible with a wide range of Ford, Lincoln, and Mercury models including the Ford F-150, Mustang, Bronco, and Econoline series, as well as Lincoln Continental and Mercury Cougar, this sensor supports accurate manifold pressure readings essential for engine control systems.

Applications and Problem Resolution

This Delphi MAP sensor is used to monitor manifold pressure, which is critical for engine control units to adjust fuel injection and ignition timing. It helps address issues such as:

• Erratic engine idling or stalling
• Poor fuel economy due to incorrect air-fuel mixture
• Check engine light triggered by faulty pressure readings
• Reduced engine performance or hesitation during acceleration
• Emission control system malfunctions

Installation Notes and Tips

Installation of the Delphi PS10242 sensor requires removing the old sensor and securing the new one using the bolt-on mount. Ensure the connector is fully seated and the blade terminals are clean and free of corrosion. Follow the included instruction sheet for proper torque specifications and connector alignment. It is recommended to verify sensor operation with a diagnostic tool after installation.
