Flucuating MAP at WOT
induced noise on the MAP sensor output or bled through
from the supply). Or maybe there is some motor issue like a
sparse misfire, changing cylinder filling, or a valvetrain thing
like resonance.
My MAP readings are pretty stable historically because I was
not "challenging" the intake tract by motor pumping. Have a
good cam and exhaust setup and you draw down harder and
any irregularity is then visible. Wimp cam, always see max or
max less a point.
In reality the manifold pressure is very not-stable and a big
cam makes bigger pulses. Depending on how the sensor filters
the pressure transducer output, and how the PCM samples
it, you can catch a crest or valley and the phasing between
sample and actual can give the illusion of stability where none
really exists.
