i have alot of buddies that run there trucks with the map sensor unpluged. can this damage there trucks?

 

That only works if you have an aftermarket boost fooler or a box that includes one.

Unplug the MAP sensor on a stock truck and it will run like crap and have no power.

I'll add one thing to what phox said and that's that you can't unplug it unless you have an Edge Comp. The TST and I believe the Juice both have to have the map sensor plugged into the block to make it work right. If you've got an edge comp then I say unplug it. It made a nice difference in bottom end with my truck.

 

Lots of post on here on that subject....read one just the other day. Like said if you have a boost fooling box (Edge ect) then you can unplug it.....If I remember correctly what I read (better check for yourself) the fueling box dumps max fuel at lower rpm with the MAP unplugged.

 

I ran my juice with the Map unplugged for a few days and it does help on the bottom end, and blows alot more smoke then for no reason one day it started running like crap and lost all power, i plugged the map back in and it ran great afterward.

 

I thinks its just a feature that has its good times and bad times... Some people say it works fine forever, while other say it worked great for one day, then ran like crap the next...

 

I use to unhook mine from time to time but it got to where it keep throwing codes hooked up after looking into it the plug had come apart the little prongs inside wan't connecting good so I fixed it the codes quit and it's stayed plug for now it was a little to smokey for city driving and mpg went down a bit but it never hurt nothing that I seen reving smoke was the best part so keep a eye on the plugs if the codes won't clear.

 

i unpluged it on my drag comp and my truck ran wierd then a buddy unplugged his then 3 months later his truck decided it did not like it unplugged. So I dunno its kinda strange
