The Mazda Protege MAP Sensor continuously reads the absolute pressure within the intake manifold, which provides the engine computer with pinpoint information that translates into smarter fuel consumption and smarter acceleration. Constructed with a solid-state core that has proven to be highly robust and lasting, the component is a miniature unit that has gained a reputation for service and, hence, problem-free operation which lasts long and is one of the highly reliable sensors fitted on any Mazda since the early nineties. Since it reads true manifold vacuum and boost, it remains accurate regardless of whether the car is an early 1.8L sedan or the later turbocharged sport edition, thus drivers of all Protege generations enjoy the same idle, easy cold start as well as clean tailpipe emissions. Three major capabilities distinguish the MAP Sensor in a heavily saturated electronics market. First, it combines real-time pressure with RPM and air temperature data to adjust injector timing; second, it feeds the onboard diagnostic system with baseline data that allows injector timing to be adjusted without creating lean spikes during full throttle; third, on boosted trims it switches easily between vacuum and positive pressure states, both protecting pistons and valves by avoiding lean spikes when the engine is working hard. The broad range of calibration and sealed package of electronics of the unit also enhance safety, as the ECU can switch off the fuel or retard the spark immediately should it detect that pressure readings have reached an abnormal level. According to owners, livelier throttle response and significantly better mileage are usually noticed after a new MAP Sensor is installed, which is a testimony to its direct correlation to efficiency. With such stringent Mazda quality standards and plug-and-play connectors throughout the platform, installation of the sensor on any Protege model is simple, and every Mazda compact remains reliable in performance.
