REMOVAL
The following procedure applies only to vehicles
without the Adjustable Pedal Package (code XAP).
The accelerator pedal is serviced as a complete
assembly including the bracket.
The accelerator cable is connected to the upper
part of the accelerator pedal arm by a plastic
retainer (clip) (Fig. 1). This plastic retainer snaps
into the top of the accelerator pedal arm.
(1) From inside the vehicle, hold up accelerator
pedal. Remove plastic cable retainer (clip) and throt-
tle cable core wire from upper end of accelerator
pedal arm (Fig. 1). Plastic cable retainer (clip) snaps
into pedal arm.(2) Remove 2 accelerator pedal mounting bracket
nuts. Remove accelerator pedal assembly.INSTALLATION
(1) Place accelerator pedal assembly over 2 studs.
(2) Install and tighten 2 mounting nuts. Refer to
Torque Specifications.
(3) Slide throttle cable into opening slot in top of
pedal arm.
(4) Push plastic cable retainer (clip) into accelera-
tor pedal arm opening until it snaps into place.
(5) Before starting engine, operate accelerator
pedal to check for any binding.

MAP SENSOR
DESCRIPTION
3.7L V-6
The Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) sensor is
mounted into the front of the intake manifold with 2
screws.
4.7L V-8
The Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) sensor is
mounted into the front of the intake manifold with 2
screws.
5.7L V-8
The Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) sensor is
mounted to the front of the intake manifold air ple-
num box.
5.9L V-8
The Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) sensor is
mounted to the front of the throttle body with 2
screws.
8.0L V-10
The Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) sensor is
mounted into the right side of the intake manifold.
OPERATION
The MAP sensor is used as an input to the Power-
train Control Module (PCM). It contains a silicon
based sensing unit to provide data on the manifold
vacuum that draws the air/fuel mixture into the com-
bustion chamber. The PCM requires this information
to determine injector pulse width and spark advance.
When manifold absolute pressure (MAP) equals
Barometric pressure, the pulse width will be at max-
imum.
A 5 volt reference is supplied from the PCM and
returns a voltage signal to the PCM that reflects
manifold pressure. The zero pressure reading is 0.5V
and full scale is 4.5V. For a pressure swing of 0±15
psi, the voltage changes 4.0V. To operate the sensor,
it is supplied a regulated 4.8 to 5.1 volts. Ground is
provided through the low-noise, sensor return circuit
at the PCM.
The MAP sensor input is the number one contrib-
utor to fuel injector pulse width. The most important
function of the MAP sensor is to determine baromet-
ric pressure. The PCM needs to know if the vehicle is
at sea level or at a higher altitude, because the airdensity changes with altitude. It will also help to cor-
rect for varying barometric pressure. Barometric
pressure and altitude have a direct inverse correla-
tion; as altitude goes up, barometric goes down. At
key-on, the PCM powers up and looks at MAP volt-
age, and based upon the voltage it sees, it knows the
current barometric pressure (relative to altitude).
Once the engine starts, the PCM looks at the voltage
again, continuously every 12 milliseconds, and com-
pares the current voltage to what it was at key-on.
The difference between current voltage and what it
was at key-on, is manifold vacuum.
During key-on (engine not running) the sensor
reads (updates) barometric pressure. A normal range
can be obtained by monitoring a known good sensor.
As the altitude increases, the air becomes thinner
(less oxygen). If a vehicle is started and driven to a
very different altitude than where it was at key-on,
the barometric pressure needs to be updated. Any
time the PCM sees Wide Open Throttle (WOT), based
upon Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) angle and RPM,
it will update barometric pressure in the MAP mem-
ory cell. With periodic updates, the PCM can make
its calculations more effectively.
The PCM uses the MAP sensor input to aid in cal-
culating the following:
²Manifold pressure
²Barometric pressure
²Engine load
²Injector pulse-width
²Spark-advance programs
²Shift-point strategies (certain automatic trans-
missions only)
²Idle speed
²Decel fuel shutoff
The MAP sensor signal is provided from a single
piezoresistive element located in the center of a dia-
phragm. The element and diaphragm are both made
of silicone. As manifold pressure changes, the dia-
phragm moves causing the element to deflect, which
stresses the silicone. When silicone is exposed to
stress, its resistance changes. As manifold vacuum
increases, the MAP sensor input voltage decreases
proportionally. The sensor also contains electronics
that condition the signal and provide temperature
compensation.
The PCM recognizes a decrease in manifold pres-
sure by monitoring a decrease in voltage from the
reading stored in the barometric pressure memory
cell. The MAP sensor is a linear sensor; meaning as
pressure changes, voltage changes proportionately.
The range of voltage output from the sensor is usu-
ally between 4.6 volts at sea level to as low as 0.3
volts at 26 in. of Hg. Barometric pressure is the pres-
sure exerted by the atmosphere upon an object. At
sea level on a standard day, no storm, barometric

pressure is approximately 29.92 in Hg. For every 100
feet of altitude, barometric pressure drops 0.10 in.
Hg. If a storm goes through, it can change baromet-
ric pressure from what should be present for that
altitude. You should know what the average pressure
and corresponding barometric pressure is for your
area.
