(OP)
I am completing a project that requires me to substitute one type of automotive-style sensor for a completely different automotive-style sensor (a Throttle-Position-Sensor for a Pressure(boost) Sensor) The output voltage of the Pressure Sensor is read by the ECU, and ranges from 2.0 to 5.0v, but the output of the TPS under normal circumstances is 0v to 1v. Would a switching regulator take the voltage from the Boost Sensor and produce an output voltage similar to the TPS? I really appreciate any help you all can give me. If any part of this doesnt make sence, or if you need more information, just let me know. Thanks!

My old Renault Alliance with a single-point injection had no throttle sensor (but two switches for closed and full open position), but just the manifold pressure sensor to do its injection job. It delivered 58 mpg.

Sometimes, and then only to varying degrees. Obviously it depends upon how hard the engine is sucking on the other side of the throttle plate. Going down a steep hill at 6,000rpm will draw a bigger vacuum than would idling.
By the way - why is the sensor a "(boost)" sensor ?

an Op-Amp would do this? I'll look around to see what kind of a circuit I can come up with. If anyone has any more input on this, I would be very grateful. Thanks!
