Wilkems Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 So I just had a horrible experience with a criminal mechanic. After finally getting my engine back from this crook I'm getting the proper work done to fix my rod knock. My new mechanic informed me that the MAP sensor was broken. I'm wondering if there are any other ones that will work from a different year/model? Because these are all like $100 and I've already broken the bank. I found one on ebay for $20 but it's for the GT and I see the mounting points are different. I might try the pick-n-pull and see if I can find one but dang. Thanks in advance. Update: I found this page on Rockauto with a bunch of alternate OEM parts that look the same. http://www.rockauto.com/catalog/moreinfo.php?pk=937696&cc=1430732&jnid=508&jpid=0 Can I use any of these and just find the cheapest price and it should work? Because the Mazda one's are way cheaper for what looks like the same thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GEE-OTTO Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 They arent any cheaper and the MAP is something you dont want to get wrong. Have you tried looking in a salvage yard for a similar year non turbo outback or forester or impreza? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you tried looking in a salvage yard for a similar year non turbo outback or forester or impreza? I haven't yet. It's over an hour away so I'm trying this first. I found this - http://www.ebay.com/itm/MAZDA-Multi-Fit-PS63-01-HITACHI-BOOST-PRESSURE-SENSOR-Z5A6-8113-3-wire-/271771513060?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item3f46d830e4&vxp=mtr Which looks EXACTLY identical and is listed as an alternate part number. I'm thinking of just giving it a try, and if it doesn't work I can always return it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GEE-OTTO Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 Cant hurt if you get wacky readings move on to the salvage option or look over on NASIOC or RS25.com put up a Wanted To Buy thread looking for a MAP sensor for a 2005 EJ253 you should be able to use 03-04 as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
