Right - joelmaldonado used a Ford frequency output MAP sensor for his load-smart cruise control: http://ecomodder.com/forum/showthrea...html#post68043

And I just remembered where else I've seen a MAP sensor + multimeter as instrumentation: http://ecomodder.com/forum/showthrea...p-off-601.html

Ironically, they were using a Ford, so bought a junkyard GM MAP sensor to take relative readings of engine load during their tests.
