Alright so I am gonna replace the map sensor. I took the chip out and have codes- P0237, P0253, and P0382. The 253 code kinda scares me because it has the words "injection pump" in the code readout. I hoping getting the map sensor will make the other scary codes go away. I just put this IP in like 5k miles ago and never seen pressure drop below 11 PSI EVER.
