Buddy bought this yesterday. Drove it on low speed for about a mile, nothing out of the norm. Bought it, took it on the interstate, ran for about 5 miles, then it stopped accelerating. Rpms wouldn't budge even with the pedal floored, eventually died when we pulled over. Babied it to AutoZone to test the cel, p0107 map sensor, replaced it, problem is still there.

What else should I look into? Is there other components that would only throw a p0107?

150k miles.

Trax off light is also on, was told it was a abs sensor before we bought it, but I was also told there was nothing wrong with it so idk if there is any truth to the sensor.

I'm a "dummy" for getting a code pulled?

What exactly am I looking for? The one that connects to the fan?
I don't know much about wiring and grounds, so I'll accept the dummy comment for that part. :P

Im just against autozone pulling the codes for free when i have over 50k of scanners to give out the right diagnostic so you dont have to throw parts for nothing

Nothing against you lol

On the right of the intake theres a kinda big harness that very close to the sharp edge of the oil filter housing

95% of 2.2 have short to ground wires at this exact spot

Symptom range from transmission problem to misfire/ intermitent stalling etc

If you find one broken repair and reroute away from housing

I'll look when I get home. Sorry, just to confirm, I'm just looking for a broken or damaged black wire within that harness?
