Air Assisted Injector System (A/T Models For California)
SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
Air injected from the fuel injector tip accelerates the fuel atomization to improve exhaust emissions. The air is injected through the air cut valve which turns ON and OFF according to the engine coolant temperature.
COMPONENT DESCRIPTION
The air cut valve contains wax, a piston and a spring valve. When the engine coolant is cold, the wax is compressed allowing an air by-pass port to open. As the engine coolant warms, the wax expands, closing the air by-pass port.
