    So, new to me V w/ ~153k miles. Since I’m furloughed right now, tackling cleaning the EGR & manifold.
    I missed taking off the exhaust manifold MAP sensor (oops! I was still kinda numb after the hassles of removing the EGR cooler ) and it was submerged in degreaser solution for a few hours. Should I replace it??


    Also going to change the plugs, replace water pump, both coolants (seems to have been done around 100k) & tranny fluid.
    I wasn’t sure about the inverter water pump… my ‘05s went out ~170k miles, a year ago. It gave me plenty of warning, so I’m not stressing it right now. Also plan to do a brake bleed. Some brake work was done ~30k miles ago according to carfax. Aside from regular oil changes and rear hubs done recently, carfax doesn’t show any of the work I’m doing.
    thanks!!!

    Do you have a scan tool that can show the MAP reading?

    Does it match your local weather station's barometer reading when the engine is off, and go down to something near 4 kPa when the engine is idling?

    If so, it'd seem to be still doing its job.

    I’ll fire up my old version of techstream, & see if can check it. Thanks
