Interesting. I googled "AC Delco MAP sensor" and got a ton of hits. You would have to filter it down based on what part # you need(relating to your year and model), but it sure seems like there are Delcos available.

Otherwise, I would go for whatever brand NAPA sells. However, it has been my personal experience with any type of sensor, if you can't get OE, you are rolling the dice on how long it will last, or if it will work properly at all.

Re: Map sensor

Delphi electronics was a merger of GM ACG and Hughes AC Delco electronics. I wouldn't have a problem buying Delphi sensors.

Turned out the EGR valve was bad. The code that came up said the MAP, or EGR was bad. I replaced the EGR, and the code never came back on yet.
