-====== GM 3 or 3.3 Bar Installation Example ====== 
  
-This installation example covers both the GM 3 and 3.3-bar sensors. ​ The detailed instructions below are specific to the installation of this sensor on a 2G DSM using the MDP sensor input. ​ Most of the general instructions still applies to other platforms (e.g., 1G DSM) or other inputs (e.g., intake temp). ​ You'll just need to tailor the specific parts to your specific situation. 
- 
-Thanks to Martin Check for providing the original instructions! 
- 
-===== Parts needed ===== 
- 
-  - GM 3 bar map sensor from http://​www.gmpartsdirect.com. ​ Part number info can be found at the bottom of [[externalsensorlist|this page]]. 
-  - Map sensor harness 
-    - Off of a camarobird (or other GM car) in a junkyard: $0-1 
-    - OR you can get it from NAPA P/N 784524 - GM Weather Pack Triple Male w/seal Housing. ​ You will also need male pins for this connector, since it is just an empty shell. ​ ~$4 for all 
-    - OR you can get the connector pre-assembled from GM, the part number is 15305891. $17.26 + shipping ​ 
-  - Vacuum hose (one foot will be plenty) 
-  - T connector to splice into the intake manifold boost/​vacuum source 
- 
-===== Tools needed ===== 
- 
-Xacto knife/razor blade, and some vampire connections (or a soldering iron if you plan to solder your connections),​ and of course some zip ties.  
- 
-This VFAQ will assume you have the junkyard MAP connector harness, or you have already assembled your store bought connector 
- 
-Now I assume you know how to find the MDP sensor. ​ It is the sensor that sits on top of the intake manifold of a 2G.  Unplug the electrical connector, but leave the sensor installed in the intake manifold. ​ 
- 
-Try to insert the empty Weather Pack connector into the MAP sensor. ​ It won't go! See those little tabs inside the MAP sensor holes? ​ Well,  you have to make slits with a razor in the connector you bought to match. ​ Here is what it looks like before: 
- 
-  
- 
-  
- 
-And here it is after the cut: 
- 
-  
- 
-Here are the connections:​ 
- 
-MAP Function MDP 
- 
-A Ground Black 
- 
-B Signal Light Green-Black stripe 
- 
-C +5 Volts Green-Yellow stripe 
- 
-  
- 
-If you want to solder, that is best, but I just used vampire taps.  Tap the connector into the appropriate lines. ​ 
- 
-  
- 
-That's about it.  Hook up the vac lines. ​ Use a zip tie around each connection. 
- 
-Tape up your wires with electrical tape, and secure your map sensor somewhere safe.
