So both use MAP but in 2011 they used 2 bar at both place in some truck and since 2012 they use 2bar for MAP and 3bar for TCB-A.

With torque, MAP=boost and TCB-A=intake BARO=BARO (if you want to have the boost just remove the BARO from TCB-A)
I use a snap-one obdII tool but I also correlate those values with torque and seams to be pretty much the same.

For the startup reading, just put the key at ignition and take the value without starting the truck, like that all 3 sensors are suppose to have the same value (atmospheric pressure) of your place (use weather channel to correlate)
So here's. question. Is the MAP in such a location and design that if excess condensation from the IC hit it, it could short out? Or affect the readings causing the loss of power issue and the poor mileage? Also the cat replacement?

I don't know if my scanner will read that stuff but I'll check and see. Mine is getting great mileage and I've never had the power loss issue, just occasional shudder, so if I can read these, I should get a consistent value from all three. Right?
I'll report back if I find anything.

Try it out it might work for you, and yes it's more expensive up front per gallon but it last longer, and in the long run a better value!
I have tried every kind of fuel that is available: ethanol 87, 89, 91, 93 and regular non-ethanol 87 and 91. All had the same gas miliage 16 hwy.

I found the baro but nothing else matches up.

I took the psi setting and changed it to read actual baro pressure. Where ate you finding the 3rd reading, tac-B?

Tcb-A, sorry.

Interesting find, and perhaps a clue. Have you checked the widebands to see if the actual resultant A/F ratio is stoichiometric?

I wish I could figured out how they are seeing those points using the torque app.

You have to add atmospheric pressure to your map reading, that's why there is no code, it is in spec..
