Hey guys,
I'm a vw guy and not used to map sensors.

My girlfriend's brother drives a 2nd gen eclipse with a 420A in it. He just got a CEL code. High intake manifold pressure is one code. The other is misfire cylinder 4. I'm thinking the misfire could be a result of the high intake mani pressure.

It's a 5speed and he told me that in between shifts, the rpm's hover. He usually has to come to a complete stop for the rpm's to settle back down to idle.

My first thought is a vacuum leak somewhere in the intake tract, but we traced all of the lines and can't seem to find them. I'm going to spray all the connections with brake cleaner and see if i can hear it idle rough at any point i spray, but thought I would post here first.

Anyone have any other suggestions on what the problem is or how I can go about diagnosing it?

Thanks in advance for any help.

I think the vast majority of us on TST with DSMs have the 4g63 motors.

Potential causes of a P0108 code:

Bad MAP sensor
Leak in vacuum supply line to MAP sensor
Engine vacuum leak
Short on signal wire to PCM
Short on reference voltage wire from PCM
Open in ground circuit to MAP
Worn engine causing low vacuum

Good news in their manifold is in no danger
