  • Re: Manifold pressure not reducing properly when throttle pulled back

    by » 2 years ago


    You have a display issue!
    With the engine OFF, your MAP will be the altimeter setting minus the field elevation factor of  ~1" per 1000"
    Example:  Assume the altimeter setting is 30.00" and the field is at 2500 MSL.
    You should be seeing 30" - 2.5" = 27.5" MAP
    Unless you are in the mountains during a Hurricane Your MAP on the ground will always be well above 25", NOT 10" !
    In Seattle WA, it will always be >29".

    15" at idle is a reasonable number though.
    The pressure should DROP significantly after starting and idling the engine, it will NEVER go Up!
