If the engine light is on, an error has been detected by the engine computer. A scan tool should be able to retrieve the trouble code. Let me know the EXACT trouble code retrieved.

Yes, there must be a code, eg Pxxxx, xxxx denoting numeric numbers.
Fuel trim lean could be P0171.

P0170 = Fuel Trim (Bank 1)
P0173 = Fuel Trim (Bank 2)
P0174 = System Too Lean (Bank 2)

Problem is with the HO2S ( Heated Oxygen Sensors), not the MAP.

Here are the diagnostic proceduers.
