2017 VW Jetta s 1.4L TSI
What is the name or type of cleaner I can use to clean a Manifold Pressure Sensor or Map sensor?
Do not clean MAP sensors.
Please post the issues/symptoms you are experiencing.
Every time I crank the car after sitting for a moment the 1st minute the car has a slight jitter, during the min if I rev it between 1k and 2k rpm it gets a bit worse It stops afte the car finish its cycle and then calms down. It recently began. I changed the Spark Plugs with OEM and The manufactor recommended gap for the sparks plugs. The battery is Ok. Pretty much just the car jitters and feels a little poppy when after cranking it up for the 1st or 2min or so
The spark plugs were changed few months ago
The Map Sensor located on the Manifold thats located under the filter box looked a bit dirty and had a little oil on it.

if the MAP sensor is bad (verify first. There are youtube videos) then it should be replaced. Fortunately they're only about 20 bucks.
Attempting to clean it will likely destroy it.
This being a turbocharged engine, I recommend running a full diagnostic
Please forgive me I thought I put all the information on the 1st question :beg:

Thanks I have already for the past days watch youtube vids but there are very few in regards to my vehicle. I did see most of them cleaning the sensor and it helped but I wanted to double-check with you all and Scotty. The VW dealership could not replicate the issue and would charge just to check somethings. If you happen to have some other possible issues that could cause the symptoms please let me know and thanks so much for you all being available to assist

cleaning is usually done for MAF sensor, which is a different kind of sensor. MAP sensors are not suitable for solvent cleaning.
If you happen to have some other possible issues that could cause the symptoms
There are many. Turbo engines are quite complex. There's not enough information for an accurate diagnosis over the internet.
Rather than spending weeks chasing ghosts, I suggest taking it to a reliable mechanic. troubleshooting needs to be done hands on.

Diagnostics doesn't mean just reading trouble codes. It means looking at the data from the various sensors to try and work out the cause of the problem.
