I have issues with my car map sensor and I want to replace it. Want to buy through eBay. But the information written on the old sensor is faded. So please can I have the necessary information for the sensor before I buy it on eBay.

We just go by application. Car model, engine size, and year. There is no other information we have ever been asked to get the right MAP sensor. The only time I have ever run into multiple part numbers was when the original design had an extremely high failure rate, and a new design was improved, but worked the same way. That got a new part number to denote it was the improved design. Mainly that pertained to GM engines in the late 1980's and early 1990's, and they supplied those parts to Chrysler. The redesigned sensors had an extremely low failure rate. I am not aware of that problem applying to any other car brand or their MAP sensors.

You're welcome. Come see me again when you need us.

If you want to use a nice reference source, try looking up parts on the Rock Auto web site. They list replacement parts from many suppliers. They will also include details like what you were asking about, when they need to know that.
