Default FYI Code P1296 engine stutters with light gas pedal

My 2001 dodge 5.9 for quite a few months would stutter when I barely gave it gas, kind of like coasting and then give it just a bit of gas would shake and stutter. Finally it stuttered and quit, it would start up again but then die, sometimes it would go for a couple minutes running bad then die. Engine light came on and the code was P1296 No voltage to manifold absolute pressure sensor. After replacing the throttle position sensor with no luck I replaced the MAP Sensor and it now runs like a champ. I searched the forum and didnt find this fix so wanted to pass on what I found.

MAP = Manifold absolute Pressure. You replaced the wrong sensor initially.
