Detailed Product Description

The Standard Ignition AS318 Manifold Absolute Pressure Sensor is an essential component in the emission control system of various Volvo vehicles, including the C70, S40, S60, S80, V40, and V70. By accurately measuring the pressure within the intake manifold, this sensor provides critical data to the engine control unit (ECU). This data helps regulate fuel injection and ignition timing, which are vital for maintaining engine efficiency and reducing emissions. The AS318 sensor is manufactured to meet or exceed original equipment standards, ensuring consistent performance and durability under normal operating conditions.

Common Applications and Issues Addressed

• Helps resolve rough idling and engine stalling caused by incorrect manifold pressure readings
• Improves fuel economy by providing accurate pressure data to the ECU
• Reduces engine hesitation and poor acceleration linked to faulty MAP sensors
• Assists in maintaining proper emission levels for Volvo C70, S40, S60, S80, V40, and V70
• Prevents check engine light triggers related to manifold pressure sensor faults

Installation Notes and Tips

When installing the Standard Ignition AS318 sensor, ensure the engine is cool and the ignition is off. Locate the existing manifold absolute pressure sensor on the intake manifold and disconnect the electrical connector carefully. Remove the old sensor and replace it with the AS318, securing it firmly to prevent air leaks. Reconnect the electrical connector and clear any diagnostic trouble codes if necessary. It is recommended to inspect the wiring harness and connectors for damage during installation to avoid future sensor issues.
