So recently i got around to replacing my my MAF sensor as the check engine light had been on for about 6 months (error code 34). All was going well for about 2 days when the check engine light came on again. This time when i checked the codes i got error code 31 which is the MAP sensor. My book says "check for bare wire or damaged connectors. check the vacuum hose connection."
So my questions are:
1. Is the MAP sensor issue related to my Previous MAF sensor problems?
2. where a bouts is my MAP sensor located? (Suzuki Vitara jlx 1996 g16b) and how do i check the vacuum hose connection?
3. What does my MAP sensor do?
4. What problems will i have from not having a functioning MAP sensor? ( can i just ignore the problem?)

How was it running when the code came up?

i cant notice any difference but since i replaced the MAF sensor she has been running great. I reset the ecu again yesterday and the check engine light disappeared for about 50kms of driving then came on again. I am having trouble finding information about the MAP sesnor. from what i have read cars are supposed to have a MAF or a MAP sesnor not both.. please help im so lost

I didn't think vits had both either... Got any pics of your engine bay?

8V engines have a MAP, 16V engines have a VAF or MAF. Its generally only on OBD2 vehicles and some earlier California vehicles where you might have a MAP and a MAF
