Default check valve question

i am running 6psi
and i still get the map cel
i have 3 check valves inline
i was wondering if i put a one way valve directly inline with the map sensors and check valves would work

as in the vacum would be able to pull thru the check valve but it wouldnt be able to push boost into the map sensor

I've never personally run that setup.. but I was under the impression that is how it was supposed to be run? With the one-way valves.

Why not just get a missing link and do away with the head ache?

u install your check vavel wrong, u did it the same way i did before. this is how i have my, i got 4 check valve. i have a 4 way T in between my map send and my vaccum. so i have 4 hose sticking out my 4 way T. i hook up one side of my check valves into the T. and i don't hook up anthing to the other side of the check valves. hook up the part of the check vavlve that u can't suck in air into the T. i think u need to look at my set up. hard to expalain. well, if 4 don't work then put more. i actually have 8 in my 95 accord right now. i thinking of getting the missing link. maybe u should too. those check vavles will go out in like 3 weeks
