could the MAP sensor be the reason my car doesnt start up right away?

Question

I need to give my car gas for it to start up and stay running

Answer 1

There can be a lot reason for the car not to start up right away, Low fuel pressure, dirty MAF sensor . and of course a faulty MAP sensor, A faulty MAP sensor will set a code and the CK ENG LT will come on. You may want to check for any code that may be present.
