Firebird V8-305 5.0L VIN E TBI (1989)
Manifold Pressure/Vacuum Sensor: Specifications
Manifold Absolute, Vacuum, and Barometric Pressure Sensors
MANIFOLD ABSOLUTE, VACUUM, AND BAROMETRIC PRESSURE SENSORS
Engines may use one, or a combination of these sensors. All sensors appear the same. Manifold Absolute Pressure sensors have a vacuum line
connected between the unit and manifold vacuum. On Barometric Pressure sensors, the line is not used and the connector is either open or has a filter
installed over it. Pressure sensors also have a vacuum line between the sensor and intake manifold and only appear on carburetted models.
Barometric Pressure Sensors: Measure voltage voltage with ignition on and engine off.
Manifold Absolute Pressure Sensors: Measure voltage with ignition on and engine off. Start engine and apply 10 in./250 mm Hg to unit, voltage should
be 1.2-2.3 volts less.
Pressure Sensors: Measure voltage as indicated.
5 volts reference
