Intake Air System

Intake Air System

Refer to the system diagram to see a functional layout of the system.




Intake Air Bypass Control Thermal Valve

When the engine is cold, the intake air bypass control thermal valve sends air to the injector.
The amount of air is regulated by engine coolant temperature.
Once the engine is hot, the intake air bypass thermal valve closes, stopping air to the injector.

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