Detailed Product Description

The AS162 MAP sensor from Standard Ignition features a female plug-in connector with a single connection point, ensuring a secure and reliable electrical interface. It includes three male bullet terminals that provide stable and consistent signal transmission. This sensor is engineered to meet the specifications required for the Plymouth Prowler, ensuring compatibility and proper fitment. The sensor accurately measures the absolute pressure within the intake manifold, which is essential for the engine control unit (ECU) to calculate air density and adjust fuel injection accordingly.

Common Applications and Issues Addressed

• Helps resolve engine stalling or rough idling caused by incorrect manifold pressure readings
• Improves fuel efficiency by providing accurate pressure data to the ECU
• Reduces engine hesitation and misfires related to faulty MAP sensor signals
• Assists in maintaining proper air-fuel mixture for emissions control
• Prevents check engine light triggers related to manifold pressure sensor faults

Installation Notes and Tips

When installing the Standard Ignition AS162 sensor on a Plymouth Prowler, ensure the connector is fully seated to avoid signal interruptions. Verify that the three bullet terminals are clean and free of corrosion before connection. It is recommended to disconnect the battery before installation to prevent electrical shorts. Properly secure the sensor in the manifold to avoid vacuum leaks that could affect sensor readings.
