Detailed Product Description

The AS453 MAP sensor from Standard Ignition is engineered to provide accurate manifold pressure readings for Mitsubishi Lancer vehicles. Featuring a three-terminal design with male blade terminals and a single female rectangular plug-in connector, this sensor ensures reliable electrical connections. The black finish offers durability and resistance to environmental factors under the hood. The included O-rings help maintain a secure and airtight seal at the vacuum port, which is essential for precise pressure measurement. This sensor does not come with mounting brackets or hardware, so it is designed to fit directly into the existing manifold setup of the Mitsubishi Lancer.

Common Applications and Issues Addressed

• Helps regulate air-fuel mixture for efficient combustion
• Prevents engine stalling or rough idling caused by faulty pressure readings
• Reduces emissions by providing accurate data to the engine control unit (ECU)
• Improves throttle response and overall engine performance
• Resolves check engine light triggers related to manifold pressure sensor faults

Installation Notes and Tips

When installing the Standard Ignition AS453 MAP sensor on a Mitsubishi Lancer, ensure the O-rings are properly seated to prevent vacuum leaks. The sensor plugs directly into the existing wiring harness using the female rectangular connector. Since no mounting hardware is included, use the original mounting points on the manifold. Verify the electrical connections are secure and free of corrosion before completing installation.

Quality Assurance and Warranty

Standard Ignition manufactures the AS453 MAP sensor to meet or exceed OEM specifications for fit, form, and function. The sensor undergoes rigorous testing to ensure durability and accurate performance under various operating conditions. While specific warranty details may vary, Standard Ignition typically offers a limited warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship.
