Inlet Manifold Pressure - Test

SMCS - 1058-081

The efficiency of an engine can be checked by making a comparison of the pressure in the inlet manifold
with the information given in the TMI (Technical Marketing Information). The information is also listed
on the Fuel Setting and the Service Information System. This test is used when there is a decrease of
horsepower from the engine, yet there is no real sign of a problem with the engine.

The correct pressure for the inlet manifold is listed in the TMI (Technical Marketing Information). The
correct pressure is also on the Fuel Setting And the related Service Information System. Development of
this information is performed under the following conditions:

99 kPa (29.7 in Hg) dry barometric pressure

29 °C (85 °F) outside air temperature

35 API rated fuel

On a turbocharged, aftercooled engine, a change in the fuel rating will change the horsepower. A change
in the fuel rating will change the inlet manifold pressure. If the fuel is rated above 35 API, the inlet
manifold pressure can be less than the pressure given in the TMI (Technical Marketing Information). The
pressure will also be less than the pressure that is listed on the Fuel Setting And the Related Service
Information System. If the fuel is rated below 35 API, the inlet manifold pressure can be more than the
pressure listed in the TMI (Technical Marketing Information). The pressure will also be more than the
pressure that is listed on the Fuel Setting And the Related Service Information System.

Note: Ensure that the air inlet and the exhaust are not restricted when you are checking the inlet manifold
pressure.

1U-5470 Engine Pressure Group

Refer to Special Instruction, SEHS8907, "Using the 1U-5470 Engine Pressure Group " for the
instructions that are needed to use the 1U-5470 Engine Pressure Group .

Use the following procedure in order to measure the inlet manifold pressure:

1. Remove plug (1) from the inlet manifold.

2. Connect the 1U-5470 Engine Pressure Group to the inlet manifold at the pressure test location.

3. Record the value.

4. Compare the value that was recorded in Step 3 to the pressure that is given in the TMI (Technical
Marketing Information). The correct pressure is also given in the Fuel Setting And Related
Information Microfiche.
