   Mine read around 9% on mine and failed.....changed the Map sensor and the readings came in at 0.00%......
   
   Can always try the map sensor, only cost about £25 from Andrew Pages.......

   Get it checked by someone with diagnostic equiptment, shouldnt cost much and you'll have a quick answer.

   yep, diagnostics are a safe bet. fairly cheap and they tell you exactly whats wrong.
