  • Publication number: 20250137426
    Abstract: An intake manifold body member has an upper surface with a MAP senor port, an air intake port, and a depending perimeter wall that defines an interior chamber. A MAP sensor port permits a MAP sensor to be inserted by a first distance into the interior chamber defined by the body member. A Map sensor shielding member depends from the body member by a second distance that is greater than the first distance and shields the MAP sensor.
