manifold pressure — The absolute pressure in the intake manifold of a reciprocating engine. It is the pressure at which the fuel air mixture is forced into cylinders and is equal to the atmospheric pressure plus a boost less friction losses in the manifold less the… … Aviation dictionary
manifold pressure sensor — A sensor that reads pressure changes in the intake manifold in relation to barometric pressure. Also known as manifold vacuum sensor, manifold absolute pressure sensor, pressure differential sensor, or vacuum sensor … Dictionary of automotive terms
manifold pressure controlled — (MPC) a fuel injection system which determines engine load based on intake man pressure … Dictionary of automotive terms
Manifold vacuum — Not to be confused with Vacuum manifold. Manifold vacuum, or engine vacuum in an internal combustion engine is the difference in air pressure between the engine s intake manifold and Earth s atmosphere. Manifold vacuum is an effect of a piston s… … Wikipedia
manifold absolute pressure sensor — (MAP) A sensor which monitors the engine s intake manifold pressure and transmits the data to the engine controller. A pressure sensitive disk capacitor used to measure air pressure inside the intake manifold. The Map sensor sends a signal to the … Dictionary of automotive terms
