Re:swaping map sensors
the map sensors should be the same. and there are no vacuum line tricks for anything. I once came across a kid who had just bought a prelude and he removed the vacuum plugs on the intake manifold giving him a nice vacuum leak and he swore that his car was alot faster after doing that, I didn't know if I should cry for the sake of all Hondas or kick his *** for being an idiot. I just went home.

Re:swaping map sensors
someone on hmt said to swap your map probably because yours is fucked up. look around for a vacuum diagram, google search on it, and make sure you have everything correctly hooked up. are you getting a map sensor code? the map sensor is the thing on the passenger side with 3 wires coming out of it, just so you know in case you have to replace it.
