Default Blown Head gasket

Could a blown head gasket throw a Map sensor code? Just wondering cuz my car is acting real funny since ive fixed the starter problem. I do have a Y8/A6 mini me so any info would be appreciated.

your car will be runnin hot as hell if you have a blown head gasket. one way to check is to drain your oil and look for antifreeze in it, it will have a milky color to it.

cylinder 2 not firing will cause you some problems

if i was you, id start by rescanning the car for codes. check all your plugs, make sure there are no slits or burnt spots on your wires. change them while theyre off. replace your cap and rotor on your distributor and go from there. did you disconnect your battery when working on your starter?

The no 2 cylinder isn't firing? Well if you think you have a blown head gasket you may want to check your compression.
