Epica Manifold Pressure Sensor Issue

I'm writing about my 2012 Chevrolet Epica with a gasoline engine. It has 220037 kilometers. The check engine light is on and off, engine power is down, and response is poor. Fuel consumption is also up. Diagnostics suggest a faulty manifold pressure sensor, maybe from a vacuum leak. Any ideas?

Sounds familiar. I had a similar issue with my old Saab 9-3. Check engine light, sluggish performance, the whole shebang. Turned out to be a bad MAP sensor as well. Have you checked for any obvious vacuum leaks around the intake manifold?

I've visually inspected the vacuum lines for damage. Could you explain how you diagnosed the manifold pressure sensor on your Saab?

Honestly, after checking the basics, I just took it to a trusted mechanic. Didn't have the right tools to properly diagnose it myself. They confirmed the MAP sensor was faulty and replaced it. Best bet is probably getting it properly diagnosed to be sure.

I took your advice and consulted a technician. They confirmed a defective manifold pressure sensor. Replacing the sensor and fixing minor vacuum leaks resolved the issues. Total cost was 235€. Thanks again for your help.
