P1129 1996 HONDA CIVIC Meaning
The manifold absolute pressure (MAP) sensor generates a signal proportional to the amount of vacuum in the intake manifold. The signal is sent to the engine control module (ECM) and the information is used to control the air/fuel mixture ratio. A faulty MAP sensor can cause engine stalling, surging, or rough idle.
