I would say you have a wire going to the map sensor thats close the map sensor that is bad.Probably the copper wire is broken inside the insulation.To me thats the only thing that makes sense at this point.

I missed a word close to the map sensor.Meaning when you unplug or plug in the map sensor connector you disturb the bad wire.
