Over the past few months I have felt that there is a problem with my car's engine. The car had a poor acceleration and fuel economy, also a rough running engine on idle. Finally last week I got Malfunction Indicator Lamp on. ![IMG_20180503_154000-01.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmY6xcFi81DMsEu4Uvd7mVSCFPkCefvs52tbLTYZDKDuja/IMG_20180503_154000-01.jpg) I used an Bluetooth OBD 2 interface to connect to the the ECU of my car and scaned for stored error codes ![IMG_20180503_202509-01.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmd5HgS4dFGv2wPJsBGJ1bctSe93az9SpvxUGM25jWPrdW/IMG_20180503_202509-01.jpg) and I got this one: ### P0107 - problem with the MAP sensor (manifold absolute pressure sensor). You can read more at: https://www.obd-codes.com/p0107 ### After some research in internet I decided first to try to fix the problem before buy a new sensor. First I located the MAP sensor, it was next to the throttle body and hold by two torx bolts ![IMG_20180414_180932-01.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmbiKgxYBVZKuEZQPxKLPUbJtpCibF7DJfzjvWXyPT3vsM/IMG_20180414_180932-01.jpg) ### I used electric parts cleaner. It is easy to use and inexpensive. I was extremely careful not to touch the actual sensor to avoid any damage. You can see the MAP Sensor before and after cleaning. ![IMG_20180414_190515-01.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmRVH2UnoGQgxfpdUTjzGUHJqfvLkcxW1iqXsokf89uQbq/IMG_20180414_190515-01.jpg) ### I also decided that it is good idea to clean the MAP sensor socket. I used just soap water and Q-tips ![IMG_20180414_185626-01.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmZphhgh3HxBVk5dV9Nqb8z4YkRo217bvc4WECt6QA31u7/IMG_20180414_185626-01.jpg) ### Next. The Engine Air Filter is part of the same intake air system as the MAP sensor and a new filter will improve the engine work. You can see the the difference between new and old Engine Air Filter. The replacement was easy and cheap. ![IMG_20180428_085232-01.jpeg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmW6wM7UwsrfFBS8g4nTWhFjwaJ8mjCXrYRLHGTgybTGQk/IMG_20180428_085232-01.jpeg) ### I decided also to replace the spark plugs. You can see here old and new spark plug from my car standing next to each other ![IMG_20180416_112512-01.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmfYftAVXtCKHughZyR5JL59ZoDTWA932ftWW9rUSVxveY/IMG_20180416_112512-01.jpg) ### definitely it was about time ![IMG_20180414_194630-01.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmZB1xwn7isS5tbqTmtbnQGXBNt3TuKPukaeeobhyp3M9B/IMG_20180414_194630-01.jpg) I assembled everything back and started the car. Now the sound of the engine is excellent, no Malfunction Indicator Lamp, no Error codes... ------------------------------
