GT Roadster manifold sensor issues

Regarding the sensor, I've checked the wiring and connections, which seem fine. I haven't measured the readings directly, but the diagnostic tool is reporting values outside the expected range. The car isn't misfiring from what I can tell, just feels sluggish. Is this manifold sensor failure a common issue?

Yeah, sounds pretty close to what I experienced. My mechanic mentioned sensor failure on these is not uncommon, especially if there's a vacuum leak stressing the manifold pressure sensor. I'd suggest getting it properly diagnosed at a reputable workshop, it will save you headaches in the long run.

Appreciate the insight. Took it to a workshop, and you were spot on. It was indeed the manifold sensor. Replaced it, and the vacuum leak was addressed. Total cost came to 235€. Runs like new now, thanks again!

I had something similar happen on my GT Roadster. Engine light came on, and it felt like I was driving with the parking brake on. Did you check the MAP sensor itself? I know they can get dirty or just fail. What kind of readings are you getting from the manifold pressure sensor? Was the car misfiring?
