Could someone tell me where this sensor is located on a '97 Blue Bird? Bus is low on power and max boost is 2.

On our T444Es of that vintage, the map sensor is located on the bracket containing the relays directly above the engine on the firewall.

Why yes, the ORIGinal CHARGER is a Fastback

That's exactly where it was! Engine is really sluggish with the MAP plugged in but if you disconnect it, it runs GREAT. Changed the MAP sensor but it made no difference. The Engine is original with appx. 220,000 miles and 10,500 hrs. It has the original injectors so that could be a possibility, however it runs so smooth cold and hot it does not skip at all. Its rated for 190hp and I just drove a '96 that is rated for 175hp and the '96 pulled hills much better. Any ideas are appreciated.

I am trying to find the same sensor on a 444e in a 2000 International/BB conventional. I have a PID 102 FMI 2 in history after the bus died twice.

On a engine of that age, it should be just above where the intake pipeing Y's into the heads on the right hand side.

Thanks GPwing, I was looking all over for a Ford style MAP. I finally tracked it down with ISIS. I am still learning how to navigate through the DVD.

The Barometric sensor 1807253c1 is under center of the dash square black plastic with round connector ... approx., 2000 model 3800 bus.
