In the process of removing my intake manifold to check for any kind of damage that I couldn't see otherwise. After removing all the sensor connectors, hoses and bolts, I tried to pull the manifold out from under the r hood to no avail. Been trying to get that POS out of there for 3 hours.. asking for a friend ..
I'm reaching out for a few helping suggestions about my Malibu. I've been getting the MAP sensor codes for 4-5 months now and can't seem to get rid of them.. it's extremely irritating. I'm currently on medical leave, so therefore, I don't have the funds to just take it somewhere to have it diagnosed and fixed. I've tried pretty much everything that I can think of. I've changed the MAF, MAP, camshaft intake/exaust sensors. Replaced the throttle body, VVT solenoids - intake and exaust, replaced the intake manifold gasket and the vacuum pump. Couple years ago, I replaced the battery and alternator. Replaced both the under hood air filter and the cabin filter. I've checked ALL the fuses, wires, and hoses and all seems to be fine. Also replaced all 4 spark plugs and coils. Needless to say, the P codes still remain. Read somewhere to change the crankshaft position sensor, so that's next on the list, I reckon. The third code it's throwing is P26C8 for Engine Control Module, caused by my active grill shutter not working. Don't know if that played a part or not. Anyways - If anyone could give me some feedback in regards to the punk ass P codes, I'd be greatly appreciative. 🤙💯🫡💪
P.S. - engine size is 2.5L Ecotech
