Hello

I got 2001 Focus with automatic transmition 2.0 motor - canadian version.
Few days ago going on the high way I lost overdrive.
I scan the car and it showed that I got trouble with MAP sensor, I speculate that it could be my fault. There is a liitle filter under air filter and when changing air filter I removed it and never replace it. I read somewhere that the oil can cover the MAP sensor. I just cleaned the MAP and going to install it today. I hope it is going to work, if not then I would have to put new MAP, I also got to check all the hoses.
I read somewhere that in some cases the trasmiton will go into something called a safe mode, to let you get home.
Does any body know how it works and how do you reset or turn off that mode?

Thanks

the MAP sensor reads the pressure inside the manifold to adjust combustion, it dosnt have anything to do with the transmission.

He says there's a little filter under the air filter?
Any idea what he's talking about?

And shame on him for not putting one back in.

I know his post is old, but I'm kinda curious.
