map sensor question
on a map sensor there are 3 mounting lugs,
1 of these lugs has a metal contact that goes inside the sensor, obviously an earth.
how important is it?
mine has broken off and will not solder back together, no matter what i try i cant get a good connection.
is it now knackered? do i need to get a new one? or will its still be ok?

It will be fine 
The earth isnt to power the map sensor, its purely for shielding.
As long as the sensor is mounted at least 12 inches away from the coil and leads, you will be fine
