Has the throttle body or map sensor come unplugged? Blown/loose fuses for them? Plugs on the pcm?

Are your battery cable terminals and ground to the frame clean and tight? Is this still the original battery?

Thanks for the reply, I looked into it more today and I monitored the live data with my scan tool while moving the map sensor wires around and noticed the values freezed, and the engine sounded like it was about to choke out, I found a sweet spot for the map sensor and the lightning bolt is gone for now, the map sensor is 2 weeks old, maybe bad from the manufacturer or a bad o-ring? I’ll keep you updated thanks again

BUMP!


Hey sorry to bring up an older thread, but was the fix a MAP sensor? I'm having the same issue and it is only happening when the temperature is warmer outside (55 degrees and warmer). As long as it is cold truck runs fine and even clears the cel. This all started after a camshaft and lifter replacement.
any suggestions are welcome
