The MPX4250AP is a precision 2.5 Bar Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) sensor ideal for use in naturally aspirated and moderate boost automotive engine management systems. It’s the factory-spec sensor included in the Classic MegaSquirt-2 and MegaSquirt-3 Kit ECUs, providing stable and accurate pressure readings up to 21 PSI of boost.

Engineered by NXP (formerly Freescale), the MPX4250AP offers a fast response time and excellent linearity across a wide operating range. Whether you're building a custom ECU or replacing a damaged sensor, this component delivers reliable performance for fuel mapping, ignition control, and barometric correction.
