How your engine calculates the perfect amount of fuel

MAP Sensor - Manifold Absolute Pressure - Explained · 4:03 · Video: Engineering Explained · Watch at the source

In short: This video explains the role of the Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) sensor. Learn how this critical component detects pressure within the manifold to help determine the precise volume of fuel required for each engine cylinder.

The MAP sensor acts as a vital link in an engine's management system by monitoring manifold pressure. By providing this data, the sensor allows the engine to calculate the exact amount of fuel to inject into the cylinders, ensuring efficient combustion.
