Idle Map STR fault
 

I keep getting this Idle Map STR fault on my smartcraft monitor for my starboard 600 SCI. My Rhinda isn't picking up any codes. I replaced the MAP sensor, but I'm still getting the error. When the boat is cold no error. As it gets warm, I will get the error. What am I missing here. Is there another MAP sensor other than the one on the side of the intake?

You referring to the MAT sensor ? manifold absolute temp, kind of sounds like your symptoms

Nope, the code is IDLE MAP STR. Here is a picture. Once the fault is triggered, my RPMs increase about 100 RPMs and it will run rich.

SB, what would a dumb person be looking for, or what do I need to check?

I'm dumber than the rock I'm sitting on taking a break right now.

WHat was the map sensor part # you used ? Got a pic ?
I only see one MAP. There are two intake air temps. Before and after.

Bought the part new. It is part number 8M6000628. As far as I can tell, there is only one MAP sensor, but I have been known to be wrong once or twice. I have a diagnostic manual but that was little help. So I have now ordered a service manual, maybe that will be more informative.

Mine throws that fault once in a while when I first put it in gear after idling a bit when it's hot.

I think it that the IAC can't react quick enough at times to supply enough idle air..

If I touch the throttle just a bit right after I put it in gear it works just fine...

Mine won't stop beeping once it starts. Do you have to restart or will it self correct and then stop beeping.

I have to shut it off and re-start the engine to get it to quit beeping as well

Mark Boos tuned mine.. I sent him an email asking about it, but haven't heard back..
