Standard Ignition AS602 Manifold Absolute Pressure Sensor

Overview of Standard Ignition AS602 Manifold Absolute Pressure Sensor

The Standard Ignition AS602 Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) Sensor is designed to provide accurate pressure readings for optimal engine performance. This sensor features a black finish and a reliable 3-terminal design, making it suitable for various vehicle applications including popular makes and models such as Ford F-150 and Chevrolet Silverado.

• 3 terminals with male blade type for secure electrical connection
• Female oval-shaped plug-in connector for easy installation
• Single vacuum port and single pressure port for precise manifold pressure measurement
• Durable black color/finish for corrosion resistance
• No additional hardware, mounting brackets, or O-rings included

Detailed Product Description

The Standard Ignition AS602 MAP Sensor is engineered to monitor the absolute pressure inside the intake manifold, providing critical data to the engine control unit (ECU). This sensor’s 3-terminal configuration with male blade terminals ensures a stable electrical connection, while the female oval plug-in connector simplifies wiring harness integration. The sensor includes one vacuum port and one pressure port, allowing it to accurately detect manifold pressure changes that affect fuel delivery and ignition timing. Its black finish offers durability against environmental factors under the hood.

Common Applications and Issues Addressed

• Helps resolve engine stalling or rough idling caused by incorrect manifold pressure readings
• Improves fuel efficiency by providing accurate data for air-fuel mixture adjustments
• Assists in correcting poor acceleration or hesitation during throttle response
• Supports emission control systems by ensuring proper sensor feedback
• Prevents check engine light triggers related to faulty MAP sensor signals

Installation Notes and Tips

Installation of the Standard Ignition AS602 sensor requires no additional hardware or mounting brackets, as it is designed to fit directly into the existing manifold port. Ensure the female oval plug-in connector is securely attached to the vehicle’s wiring harness. Verify that the male blade terminals are clean and free of corrosion before connection. Since no O-rings are included, reuse the original sealing components or replace them as needed to prevent vacuum leaks. Compatible with various Ford and Chevrolet models, always consult your vehicle’s service manual for specific installation procedures.
