Intake Air System

Intake Air System Diagram




This system supplies air for engine needs. A resonator in the intake air pipe provides additional silencing as air is drawn into the system.

Heated Air Induction System




The heated air induction system improves fuel economy in the cold weather conditions and when the engine is cold. When outside air temperature is low, the air temperature control valve opens the air valve to allow the heated air into the engine.

Intake Air Bypass Control Thermal Valve




When the engine is running, the intake air bypass control thermal valve sends air to the injectors.

Throttle Body




The throttle body is a single-barrel side draft type. The lower portion of the throttle valve is heated by engine coolant from the cylinder head. The idle adjusting screw, which increases/decreases bypass air, is located on top of the throttle body.
