Some GMC Sierra 3500 HD owners report experiencing reduced power issues due to a sooty MAP sensor and failing NOx sensor. These problems can trigger warning messages and impact engine performance, as the sooty MAP sensor affects the accuracy of pressure readings. Additionally, failing NOx sensors can exacerbate these performance issues. To mitigate these concerns, some owners find that cleaning the MAF and MAP sensors helps improve engine performance by addressing sensor contamination. Regular maintenance and cleaning of these sensors are recommended to prevent future issues and ensure optimal engine function.
