In fact, I just realized why I run so rough on desent. The
MAP is probably getting pulled down below 10" and the pressure probably drops
even more making it very lean... hmmm :-)
I mentioned this to Tracy
one day, and he said (best I understood it) that the engine basically isn't
running under these conditions. For one thing, the injector duty cycle is
so low that they effectively aren't opening. I've noticed times in the
pattern when I was descending at idle, and the engine noise seemed to almost go
away. Opening the throttle some made it start, then going to idle
stop. I got the distinct feeling that the engine was not running at idle,
just like a car cuts the fuel on deceleration. Interesting.
