Hey, I just got me a tb and installed it and it's feelin like the map sensor is acting up and my check engine light is on. It's a 63mm bore on a 97 xj. And the map sensors only a week old. My question is, is this just my CPU adjusting to the new bore? Or is something wrong? And has anyone encountered this problem?

Thank you for your help you guys

Also it is worth erasing the old ECU or PCM memory. Disconnect the POSITIVE battery Terminal and touch it to ground for 30 seconds. (This is to discharge the PCM capacitors, which maintain the Adaptive Memory.
Reconnect the Battery Cable
Turn Ignition Switch to the “On” position but DO NOT start the engine
Turn Headlight “On”
Turn Headlights “Off”
Turn Ignition Key “Off”
When you start the engine it will be running off a set of pre-programmed tables that come with the PCM from the factory. When you get the engine up to operating temperature, the PCM will start to collect data for the “Adaptive Memory”. The PCM will collect data for Adaptive Memory for the first 50 Warm-up Cycles.

Yes, you can either touch the positive cable end directly to the negative cable end/battery post or any good body ground point within the positive cable's reach. Easiest way is usually to just touch it to the negative cable/battery post. Be sure to hold it in direct contact for at least 30 seconds to make sure it's fully discharged.
The other part with the key and the headlight is to ready the PCM to learn from scratch again IIRC.

Ok so I hadve tried flashing the ecu 2x now and I was wondering if my dash would give me a confirmation that i did it correctly. Because sofar I have seen no change. I also did a full tuneup( plug, wire, rotor, cap) and still no go. Would a bad fuel pump and bad exaust cause this problem? I All ready ordered me map replacement harness and it should be in tomorrow, so I'll test that theory out tomorrow.
And I read up what a map sensor dose and they say they measure the atmospheric pressure and match it in the intake. If that's true what is the sensor that measures the external pressure? A o2 sensor or something
