But when i went to let her warm up before i went to work and she would turn and run for about a second and shut off. Tried it three times and gave up and took my other car. Did some reading at work and everything points to the MAP Sensor (manifold absolute pressure). So i came home and giving it gas turned the key and it started and would not idle, then went to a rough idle, then started to work as normal. Feels like i lost alot of power so just gonna park it til i get that sensor. I feel dumb but i know why this happend i used carb cleaner before i read that its a big no no..so learn from your mistakes i guess just a $20 part and is hopfully the cause of my low mpg.

I think your gonna be suprised...a MAP sensor isn't a 20 dollar part.
