Spectra MP172 Manifold Absolute Pressure Sensor

Spectra MP172 Manifold Absolute Pressure Sensor

The Spectra MP172 manifold absolute pressure sensor is built for direct replacement on a wide range of Ford and Lincoln applications. It is engineered to meet or exceed OE specifications for fit, form, and function, helping restore accurate intake manifold pressure readings for proper engine management.

Key Features

• Manifold absolute pressure sensor for emission control and engine management systems
• OE-style fit, form, and function for straightforward replacement
• Direct-fit application coverage for select Ford and Lincoln vehicles
• Cross-references Standard Ignition AS637 for the same application
• Part number: MP172

Detailed Description

Spectra MP172 is a manifold absolute pressure sensor used to monitor intake manifold pressure so the engine control system can calculate load and adjust fuel and ignition strategy. This sensor is a direct replacement for select Ford Bronco, Bronco Sport, Edge, Escape, Expedition, Explorer, F-150, Transit, and Lincoln Nautilus, Navigator, Aviator, Continental, MKZ, and MKX applications. The MP172 is designed to match OE specifications, making it a practical choice when replacing a failing MAP sensor on Ford F-150 and Lincoln Navigator platforms.

This part cross-references Standard Ignition AS637 for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Erratic idle caused by inaccurate manifold pressure readings
• Check engine light related to MAP sensor performance
• Hard starting or rough running from incorrect air-fuel calculations
• Reduced throttle response under load
• Driveability issues on Ford and Lincoln vehicles with a failing MAP sensor

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the connector style, mounting location, and engine application before installation. Some Transit applications list the sensor location in the air cleaner, so confirm the original part position on the vehicle. After installation, clear diagnostic trouble codes and confirm live data readings with a scan tool.

Quality Assurance

Spectra states that this manifold absolute pressure sensor is engineered to meet or exceed OE specifications for fit, form, and function.
