Bob,

Same indication as with engine running.

The important thing to always remember is that "Manifold pressure
sucks", which is also the title of John Deakin's brilliant Avweb column
on the topic - absolutely required reading.

I absolutely second that recommendation. I learned a lot from reading
John Deakin's columns. But you have to read past his writing style. He
tends to get wordy, and after a long introduction, he quickly glosses
over the final point. Its like a novel that ends rather abruptly. I
had to read them several times to get all the subtleties. But it is an
absolutely required reading for anyone wanting a deeper understanding
of aircraft piston engines.
