Lee, Still more musing on my part... If the MAP sensor lost a ground reference, I could imagine it exhibiting the symptom you describe. Why it does it only at WOT confuses it a bit. I am assuming that you have not driven another Aero which 'works correctly' to have a feel for it. I would disconnect the ECU and MAP and take a volt meter to verify that both the ECU and MAP get a low impedance connection to ground. If there is any variation, clean the bog engine ground cable at both ends and the ground connection for the FI system. It should be a single bolt with a number of ring connectors. To find this ground point, you'd have to have the electrical manual, guess, or ask the technician. It'll probably be near the battery or on the engine block somewhere. It COULD (very outside chance) be something INSIDE the short section of tubing or the nipple on the intake manifold which plugs the port and causes pressure to be under reported as well. If all these check out, swap in a known good MAP and see what it does. Please let us know what you learn as this is now bugging me.
