Many members have ordered this from them and again NO ONE has got the wrong part from them . CX2231
Torrie at Unleashed sells them ...... $130.00 shipped

Copy that thanks
So the 3 bar from Ford, is that OEM on the ecoboost F-150's? And is that the same part that unleashed and LMS sell? If so, does that mean there no aftermarket 3 bars? Thanks.

I was a Parts manager for a Ford dealer for 18 years up till 8 years ago when I purchased a NAPA store that I now run...that being said, the number on the part itself is considered an engineering number. to get the correct "sales part number" you would either cross the engineering number to part number or look up in parts application.
The Ford numbering system is pretty cool. After learning it a good parts person can actually look at a part # and tell first by the basic (middle #) number what the part is and then from the prefix and suffix can tell what vehicle and year the part originally derived from. But it may fit other Ford vehicles going forward and some earlier models if the part replaced the older #.
So cx2231 or better yet aa5z-9f479-b tells me that 9f479 is a map sensor, (every single ford map sensor will have 9f479 as the basic #) and aa5z is a 2011 Lincoln MKT and B would designate what style of part...this must mean the 3-bar Turbcharger boost sensor.
it looks like the aftermarket has some as our supplier, Echlin shows a part#. But more than likely when I order mine it will have the Motorcraft # scratched off. (really!)
Hope this helps...

Hi All
Just looked at the sensors on my 2013 SHO with pp
The sensor upstream of the throttle body is AA5Z-9F479-AB
The sensor mounted in the intake is AA5Z-9F479-CA
So if your numbers are correct the upstream sensor is a 3 bar unit & the one in the intake is the 2 bar unit
Am I correct guys?

Don't plan to replace the upstream sensor
Just pointing that it is the same as the 3 bar sensor everyone recommends
That is why I was confused
If you look for a map sensor for a 2013 Taurus SHO you get two part numbers on most sites with no explanation why
Now I know they are listing both the upstream & downstream units
Ordered one from Rock Auto today
sent LMS an email to get an updated tune to work with it
Be 69 years old on the 29th of this month so this is probably the most work I plan to do to my Taurus

Thanks
Still trying to find out what it takes to Run 100% E85
Would love to be able to use 100+ octane ethanol
Has anyone done it & if so what mods were made
Wonder if larger injectors & higher capacity high pressure pump are required?
Does anyone know the static flow rate of the stock injectors?

So from the little bit of research I've done, CX2231 should in fact be a 3 bar. CX2228 is the 2 bar sensor.
Going to order the one from Auto Parts Tomorrow and see how it goes - http://www.autopartstomorrow.com/part_numbers/537477.
I'll update the thread this weekend with what they send me. For $82 shipped, I'll be guinea pig and take one for the team, lol.
