Still on the fence about this. I'd have to get Torrie to tune me, as LMS isn't doing any 3 bar tuning with SCT's.
Those sold out quickly and then the price went up slightly.

If you guys find inexpensive 3 bars, post them up here.
Never priced them before...what is the normal price range for them?
Anything in the under $90 range is good.
When I originally started contemplating a 3 bar, RockAuto had them for less than $80. Shortly after, they went to $83. I guess this is a sign that I should go ahead and place my order!

Ford wants $140 for the OEM.... I personally opted to stay with OEM for fit and concerns over communication with ECU... I bought mine from DEAN NIB for $100... If you can beat that for OEM it's stellar. AM may work just fine, I'll profess ignorance on that point.
Got some questions about the 3BAR related to the OEM turbos answered from LMS (thanks Dave for asking for me while you were there), This is what Dan said, "The three bar is good for the car because there could be boost spikes above 14.3 that the 2 Bar wouldn't be able to read. The 14.3 is a best guess. That number could actually be 14.2-14.5 depending on altitude and climate. The spread could even be more it's a "floating number". But, bottom line is that it can read spikes and let the ECU deal with them. No performance gain, just good practice."
Tom these are OEM sensors, just FYI.

SHOboat.... Yes, That is a pic of a 3BAR MAP sensor.
The 2BAR would end in "A" for the lower number.
Sweet $22 it is lol. Has anyone tried to call their local dealer to do a price match? Because list was only $60
Sorry guys, it looks like he may have made a mistake on the price. He is checking on it. If it turns out to be correct I should be able to get a few more. I'll let you guys know on Monday. Maybe 5 any more than that could arouse suspicion from his boss, and I don't want to get him in crap.
I just checked my local dealer and it was $145 and some change. I think they screwed up on the price. If you get extras at that price, I'd take one.

SHO nuff ..... :biggrin:
Just an FYI note of caution... I went to the RockAuto site and looked at the CX2231 (same for all 3.5 trans EBs) for about $82, but if I search specifically for the 3BAR using the other part of the number, AA5Z-9F479-B, the price came up $94.... still a darn good price, but the description and pic of the "B" is not a Ford part... Aftermarket may be fine.
Main point is be very sure you get the AA5Z-9F479-B (3BAR) or equivalent if AM is OK with you,.... and not the AA5Z-9F479-A (the 2BAR)
Just for reference; $145.48 on the FordParts site.
So when i went to my ford dealer ship to get a 3 bar and the said the only 3 bar maps come from the f150 right? but the guy said there are 2 which one do you want. said know idea can anyone tell me which one and if we need 2 on the xsport

Wait, what? Are you saying that CX2231 merely indicates that the part is a MAP sensor and not necessarily whether it is the 2 BAR or the 3 BAR version? I'm a little confused by the wording "Correct for the MAP sensor... but not the BAR rating...". Please clarify... pretty, pretty please. :)

You are 100% correct in your interpretation... Below is a link to pictures of ShoBoat's 3BAR sensor and the box showing what I mean.... The second number with "B" as last digit is what's important to be sure it's a 3BAR. The 3BAR sensor I got came in a box exactly like this from Ford.... but like everyone using them has noted... on the sensor it ends in"AB".

I think this should explain what I tried to communicate about making sure you get the correct MAP sensor (3BAR)

Insanity! Someone write a letter! I came this >< close to ordering one from RockAuto, but I think I'll just order one from Torrie when I order my tuner.

I'm assuming if we get the wrong one, we can return it?
Guys, I'm not saying any vendor (or their part) is bad... and Ford created this confusion actually with a system that's hard to understand. I just don't want folks getting the wrong part...and tuning for it with crazy results. Definitely get it as cheap as possible. I just saw/had confusion. per my my first post above... Earlier, I just described my findings when I searched trying to be sure it was what folks wanted... and I saw some confusing things and AM 3BAR sensors at RockAuto... http://www.ecoboostperformanceforum.com/index.php?topic=2521.msg38720#msg38720 (http://www.ecoboostperformanceforum.com/index.php?topic=2521.msg38720#msg38720)
Not trying to change anyone's plans... just thought everyone should know how to obtain and verify they received the correct part. We all like to be sure of things even if it's just to speed up the process. ...and we all like cheap!
black99lightning... don't know why not, but now you can easily verify the correct as well as AM vs OEM with the info here when yours arrives.
Joleat... ordering through Unleashed is one way to be sure since Torrie knows what you want.... but sometimes direct communication before ordering is the key... email or call RockAuto if you feel the need.

So the 3 bar from Ford, is that OEM on the ecoboost F-150's? And is that the same part that unleashed and LMS sell? If so, does that mean there no aftermarket 3 bars? Thanks.

The 3 bar that Rock Auto , LMS and Unleashed Tuning sell is the EXACT same Ford OEM part . I know of NO aftermarket 3 bar .
Dig elsewhere and no guarantee you'll end up with the correct part .
I was a Parts manager for a Ford dealer for 18 years up till 8 years ago when I purchased a NAPA store that I now run...that being said, the number on the part itself is considered an engineering number. to get the correct "sales part number" you would either cross the engineering number to part number or look up in parts application.
The Ford numbering system is pretty cool. After learning it a good parts person can actually look at a part # and tell first by the basic (middle #) number what the part is and then from the prefix and suffix can tell what vehicle and year the part originally derived from. But it may fit other Ford vehicles going forward and some earlier models if the part replaced the older #.
So cx2231 or better yet aa5z-9f479-b tells me that 9f479 is a map sensor, (every single ford map sensor will have 9f479 as the basic #) and aa5z is a 2011 Lincoln MKT and B would designate what style of part...this must mean the 3-bar Turbcharger boost sensor.
it looks like the aftermarket has some as our supplier, Echlin shows a part#. But more than likely when I order mine it will have the Motorcraft # scratched off. (really!)
Hope this helps...

Hi All
Just looked at the sensors on my 2013 SHO with pp
The sensor upstream of the throttle body is AA5Z-9F479-AB
The sensor mounted in the intake is AA5Z-9F479-CA
So if your numbers are correct the upstream sensor is a 3 bar unit & the one in the intake is the 2 bar unit
Am I correct guys?
I have the same car and added a 3bar sensor and tune,the one by the throttle body is a 3bar map part ends in AB,the one on top of manifold is a 2 bar which ends in CA,which I replaced with a 3 bar,both sensors have the same identical part #.
The sensor pre throttle body is called a TIP.... Throttle-body Input Pressure sensor... Not sure what the differences in the part are.... but no apparent need or benefit from changing it. If it has the same part number as the 3BAR MAP I'd leave it alone.
Don't plan to replace the upstream sensor
Just pointing that it is the same as the 3 bar sensor everyone recommends
That is why I was confused
If you look for a map sensor for a 2013 Taurus SHO you get two part numbers on most sites with no explanation why
Now I know they are listing both the upstream & downstream units
Ordered one from Rock Auto today
sent LMS an email to get an updated tune to work with it
Be 69 years old on the 29th of this month so this is probably the most work I plan to do to my Taurus
Early congrats on your 69th! :D BTW, did you ever get the data you were looking for on the fuel injectors/fuel system?
Holy crap.... Here is an idea? Why dont you buy the part (3bar) from your tuner...? Support whom is helping you. Cheap phucks...!!! And Im king of cheap. ;(

Looks to me like a 3 bar sensor! About to head out and install it along w/the updated 3 bar tune from Torrie. Hopefully this helps someone else out there. Before I forget, thanks to ShoBoat for the original link.
Wilson. .... You got the right part for sure , $82.00 shipped , can't beat that anywhere I think .
The link in your post is dead though but if you go to the home page link ....
http://www.autopartstomorrow.com/ (http://www.autopartstomorrow.com/) and put cx2231 in the search box the 3bar comes up .... at $82.11.
Still a damned good find and they take PayPal .
I ordered the same part a week prior. Used a 5% discount code on line also. Definitely a good deal.
Yay, affordable MAP sensors just what I want to see for you guys!

Someone could .. I think it is simply a demand issue .
Ford uses Bosch for tons of OEM electronics and is is one of there primary suppliers .
Bosch is an industry leader and has somewhat of monopoly in this arena , not that it is a bad thing .
Received my 3 bar from Rock auto as well. Someone here told me just make sure the last digit is "B" which verifies it is 3 bar vs 2 bar.
I also just received and loaded today my updated tune for 3 bar. Too much L.A. traffic to test. So I may await a track day at Irwindale to run it hard. Any track days that anyone knows of?
What are the other 3 bar sensors on the SHO used for? Think they were on turbo outlets. 2 of them.
So where exactly is the 2 bar located that gets replaced with the 3 bar? Pics please. Thanks.

Well, at least you got the right part! Thanks for confirming this.
I know this thread is a few months old, but I found it and went through it...the 3 bar at Rock Auto is now $50.79 and less than $54 when shipped. I thought I might have had the wrong part number, but I triple-checked & its correct.

Yes, the link on the first page is the correct 3 bar sensor from Rockauto, got mine for 58.96 delivered last month.
The price varies on the their site and sometimes you can get parts very cheap.
Ordered a few things from Rock auto and ordered an extra 3-bar map sensor CX-221 for 50.00 just for backup,cant beat the price originally was 83.00.

Do you have a 3-bar tune to accomodate the 3bar sensor.
I emailed them last week. Still waiting on a response
If you don't have the tune adjusted for the 3 bar your car will not run properly. So you cannot run a 3 bar map without a tune.

Yea I started it just to see if I would get a cel or what would happen. Needless to mention, it was horrible, car shuddered, service traction control and all kinds of stuff came up. Parked in garage until they decide to send me a tune

AirAid stickers = 5 HP
LMS = 10 HP
Corsa = At least 20 HP
LOL
I want to see those stickers dynoed. I don't think your numbers are right. Ha
Lots of HUMOR going on around here lately.lol ;) Maybe cause its an XSPORT with stickers on the hood,but those stickers on the XSPORT WILL SURPRISE ALOT OF PEOPLE.
I'm just making fun of the ol stickers add power mantra. I think it looks great on the xsport.
Yea I stole it from the ricer scene lol. Tons of drivers around here with nothing more than fart cans and stickers but the guys drive them like they are any faster than a minivan, and I've seen some minivans move lol
Racing stripe ---> 20HP
.... If eccentric ----> 25HP

This what's currently on rock auto. Damn cheap for 45$. Its got the B at the end so I'm assuming this is a 3 bar. Correct?
That is the correct part, though the actual box/part you receive may have AB at the end. Not to worry.
It is confusing... Here's pics of the shipping label, box, and actual 3 BAR MAP showing the correct part number variations:

The part numbers can get a bit confusing as BiGMaC stated above,but researching the secondary part #CX-2231 should direct you in the right direction on which is the correct 3-bar sensor. Z
Thanks gents. Sorry to bump an old thread. I've been happy with the SCT can tune on the car now but I may get big by the damn mod bug sooner than expected.
Custom tune >>> canned tune, anyday anywhere :)
yes i know this is old , the sensor is now down to 45.79 on rock auto

If you contact RockAuto at this point, there is a very good chance they can apply the discount after the fact, and credit you the difference/savings.
Yeah its 2 bucks less though, not really that worried

Yeah mine bit me instantly. I bought the full package (tune, plugs, 3bar, filter, downpipes) after only driving the car one day...
Wish I had seen this, would have saved me $20.
So you ran the 93 canned tune for a day? How much different is the canned tune VS the custom tune (even just by feel since you probably didnt get a time or dyno on the canned tune)

I never ran the canned tune, I went from stock straight for the glory. I considered running dyno stock, but didn't have the $100 to burn just for curiousity sake.

That's an extra $2.00 dollars in your pocket Bro!!. Z
yeah i wish i saw your post before i ordered :/
I looked around the site in my accounts and orders to change it without actually calling them and there wasnt anything really so i decided they can have the 2 bucks. They deserve it. They already sell the 3 bar half the price of others! Consider it a tip

Isn't the livernois 3bar $75? I guess you would need their $600 tuner, though.
I haven't checked on other 3bar tuners yet.

Its the same Motorcraft 3-bar map sensor which can be had for much cheaper at www.rockauto.com (http://www.rockauto.com) and all vendors tend to inflate there prices a bit. Z

Hello all,
I recently purchased Motorcrafts 3 bar map sensor from Rock Auto's website and am having difficulty deciding if it is the correct part number or not. The part number went from CX-2231 to CX-2594 which some of you may already know about. But, my concern lies on what the FoMoCo part number states on the sensor itself which reads AA5A-9F479-AC now. This used to end with the letters "AB". Is this the correct updated part number?
Thanks,
Matt
Yes it is correct. No worries.
Thanks for the quick response!
FYI... a SHO owner on Facebook ordered a 3BAR map from Rockauto and received a Chinese made OEE... it had a blue O-Ring...

Gawd DAYUM IT!! I just went to order "MOTORCRAFT CX2594 {#CX2231}" on Rock AUTO and is now $108.78 in muh cart with the 2.99 shipping so listing for $105.79.. Is this correct, if so might as well pay this to torrie who I am tentatively planning on going to eventually with muh 2018 SHO!!! Thanks for all the TIPS & Experiences!!!
The very reason I have seven of the map sensors due to the price increase. Lol. Z :D
The STANDARD MOTOR PRODUCTS AS410 A5Z9F479B is an excellent alternative IMO plus half the price of the Motorcraft...

if you don't mind me asking, whats wrong with the OEM 2 bar?
Limited accuracy for tuned SHOs. Boost spikes especially will not register correctly and can cause operational issues over time.
