Manifold Pressure History, the Intake Cycle and Reversion. Let's examine events and conditions that occur throughout a complete intake cycle. Try to visualize these events in very slow motion.

Until there is equalization of pressure between the intake manifold and combustion space, reverse flow continues. But when these two pressures become equal, mixture flow into the cylinder begins.

The manifold pressure responds to cam angle be decreasing from full retard (0 degrees), reaching a minimum pressure at around 15 degrees and then slowly increasing as the cam reaches full advance ...

Manifold Pressure The air/fuel mixture entering the engine reaches the inlet valve at the pressure in the inlet manifold (the Manifold Pressure). Unless the throttle is wide open, this pressure will ...

What we really care about is flow, not boost or manifold pressure. They aren't even closely related: flow has to do with time, while pressure is an instantaneous measure.

The new engine formula will reduce intake manifold pressure to 37 inches in 2001, a decrease of approximately 50-60 horsepower, and then a drop to 34 inches of boost will take place in 2002 ...

The manifold absolute pressure sensor reads the amount of pressure or vacuum (also called “engine load”) in the intake manifold, where outside air is divvied up in proper amounts and ...
