Honda Stream Manifold Pressure Sensor Issue
Summary of the thread
A 2014 Honda Stream owner experienced a check engine light, reduced engine power, poor response, and increased fuel consumption, with an OBD scan indicating a faulty manifold pressure sensor. The suspected cause was a large vacuum leak. Another owner with similar issues suggested checking for hissing sounds that could indicate a vacuum leak, particularly around hoses connected to the intake manifold. The problem was resolved by replacing the sensor and fixing the vacuum leak, restoring the vehicle's performance.

Thanks for the quick response! I did a quick visual check and listened for hissing, but didn't find anything obvious. Where exactly should I be focusing my search for potential vacuum leaks? Any specific hoses or areas that are prone to failure on the Stream?

Well, in my case, it was a cracked hose connected to the intake manifold – a real pain to spot at first. However, given your symptoms and the sensor code, it's best to have it professionally diagnosed to pinpoint the leak accurately. It might save you some time and prevent further complications. I ended up taking mine to a trusted workshop after struggling for a few days.

Thanks for the advice! I appreciate you sharing your experience. I took it to my local mechanic, and you were spot on – it was a vacuum leak affecting the manifold pressure sensor. Replaced the sensor and fixed the leak. Total cost was 235€. Runs like a dream now!

Hey! I had something similar happen with my Honda Stream too. I remember facing similar symptoms – check engine light, sluggish acceleration, and the car was guzzling fuel like crazy. Did you check for any hissing sounds that could indicate a vacuum leak? That's often the culprit with manifold sensor issues, as unmetered air skews the readings.
