Claim:
1. An engine assembly comprising: an intake manifold; an engine operatively connected to the intake manifold; a manifold absolute pressure sensor configured to generate a current measured manifold absolute pressure (MAP a throttle valve adjustable to control airflow to the intake manifold; a throttle position sensor configured to generate a current measured throttle position (TP a controller operatively connected to the throttle valve and having a processor and tangible, non-transitory memory on which is recorded instructions for executing a method for determining a predicted manifold absolute pressure (MAP wherein execution of the instructions by the processor causes the controller to: determine a predicted throttle position (TP determine a predicted throttle flow (TF determine the predicted manifold absolute pressure (MAP control the engine based at least partially on the predicted manifold absolute pressure (MAP
