Has anyone had a Map sensor pop out?
I'm running a Cobalt 2 bar map sensor with a LS6 intake manifold. I have my map sensor zip tied down just incase. I was wondering if anyone has ever had a map sensor pop out under boost? Is the factory intake manifold tab enough to hold the map sensor in?

Weird, just had mine pop out a few weeks ago. I was wondering the same thing. First gear went quick then laid into second and the car fell on its face about midway through the pull. I was on a back road at about 2am and luckily my cell has a little flashlight feature. Was able to lay the sensor back in the hole and just kept her in vacuum the whole way back home (75 miles). The next day I spent about an hour trying to lock the sensor back in. What was strange was once I was sure the tabs were secure, the sensor felt looser than ever. Waiting to take it in to my tuner so they can make sure it is in permanently
