2009 Chevrolet Colorado P0455, P0442, P0108, P0106, P0107: EVAP and MAP Sensor Issues - Diagnosis & Fixes

Model: 2009 Chevrolet Colorado Fault Code: P0106 Posted: 2017-12-20 12:07

I've tried every possible fix on my 2009 Chevrolet Colorado, including replacing the exhaust manifold—yet the issue persists. The vehicle consistently shows diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) P0455 and P0442 during OBD2 scans. These codes appear intermittently; sometimes one shows up while the other doesn't. Additionally, I'm experiencing multiple MAP sensor-related errors: P0108, P0106, and P0107. I've installed two or three different MAP sensors, performed voltage checks on all connections (which show normal readings), and replaced both the purge valve and the purge vent solenoid in the charcoal canister. I’ve thoroughly inspected all vacuum lines and used carburetor cleaner to test for leaks—no source has been found. A vacuum gauge reading shows a consistent 20:1 ratio under steady driving, which drops to zero when accelerating and jumps back to around 25 before returning to 20. However, the vehicle begins running rough unexpectedly. The vacuum stays within the green zone until it develops a severe loping condition—then briefly dips out of range before recovering. When I drive on the road and the engine starts running poorly, stomping the accelerator temporarily stabilizes it, but the roughness returns shortly after. I'm seeking advice on how to resolve these persistent codes and improve engine performance. Any insights into potential root causes or recommended diagnostics would be greatly appreciated.

The issue appears complex—multiple systems may be involved. Have you checked TSB #10-06-0-than the EVAP system? Also, please confirm all map sensor codes (you mentioned P0108, P0106, and P0107). It's critical to post every DTC for accurate diagnosis. Additionally, check fuel pressure and perform a KOEO pressure drop test—observe how much psi drops within 5 minutes. This can help identify issues with the fuel system or sensor response, especially when the engine runs rough and requires aggressive throttle input to stabilize.

The full list of MAP-related codes I've observed includes P0108, P0106, and P0107. These may indicate a faulty sensor or wiring issues, especially given the inconsistent engine performance when not under throttle.
