Message:
3 times this past summer whenever I took my '96, V8, manual trans. to the mountains (from Denver)and did some very easy 4 wheel driving the check engine light would come on. Every time the shop said it was the MAP sensor. Any ideas why it would continue to go bad?? Thanks in advance!

If the MAP sensor allegedly went bad three times, i'd suspect the actual MAP Port on the TB before replacing it with another one. Cleaning the Throttle Body is recommended at each 30K miles...if not at every tune up. (The MAP and IAC ports get grunged up with carbon deposits and can cause poor performance and a "check engine" light.)
