okay so i jumped the sensor and it gave me 1,2,and 9 which is basically my map sensor

we looked to find the map sensor there was no air filter in the box, and there is no vacuum hose connecting to the map sensor

anyone know where the other end of the vacuum hose connects to?

get an airfilter asap. the map sensor connects to one of the vac lines coming out below the fuel injectors off the back of the Head. Check all the vac lines because no telling whats been disconnected or improperly rerouted.
