Hello,

Please check MAP.

A bad manifold absolute pressure (MAP) sensor can upset fuel delivery and ignition timing. Depending on your vehicle model, your engine might experience one or more of these performance problems:
  • Rich air-fuel ratio
  • Lean air-fuel ratio
  • Surging
  • Poor fuel economy
  • It won't start
  • Lack of engine power
  • Stalling
  • Detonation and misfire
