THE CFI REPORTED THAT WHILE FLYING IN THE FLT SCHOOL'S DESIGNATED PRACTICE AREA AT 3800 FT MSL SHE REDUCED THE THROTTLE TO IDLE FOR THE PURPOSE OF SIMULATING AN IN-FLT EMERG FOR HER STUDENT. THE STUDENT RESPONDED PROPERLY. THE CFI STATED SHE CLEARED THE ENG, WHILE USING CARB HEAT, DURING THE GLIDE. WHEN BETWEEN 400 & 500 FT AGL, THE CFI DIRECTED A GO-AROUND & THE STUDENT PLT RESPONDED WITH FULL THROTTLE & CARB HEAT TO OFF. THE ENG CONTINUED TO OPERATE BUT NO POWER ABOVE IDLE WAS OBTAINED. EXAMINATION OF THE ACFT ENG FAILED TO REVEAL ANY REASON FOR THE POWER LOSS.
