I went to get my car serviced since it's been a long time since that happened and they drained ALL the fluids and replaced them. The idle stayed the same ( think they adjusted it too) but the MAP is now higher. Before it was 3.9 while idling and now it's 4.1 (this is on the scangauge 2)

I thought that the lower it is the better, or am I missing something? I also had my valves adjusted, does it have anything to do with it?
