it should show then the barrometic pressure!

sow depending on the weather / altitude
it should show around 1Bar

MegaSquirt samples that sensor once (when it starts the ignition) every normal car has 2 sensors and monitors all the time the second sensor to compensate with VE losses going up mountains / hills etc..

Tks

It should read atmospheric 100KPa (or depending on height) as there is no manifold vacuum.





Summer's here!!!!

I'm with you now.
The reason I asked is my car won't start today. When it normally starts the Kpa is about 30 on tick over.

When I turn on the ignition only today it reads 90 (I'm not sure what it normally reads)
This shouldn't be the problem then should it?

Unfortunately that sounds fine.
