VARIABLE INTAKE AIR SYSTEM OPERATION [L8, LF]
id0113a3147100
Operation Conditions
When Intake Air Shutter Valve Closed
• Intake manifold vacuum is applied to the variable intake air shutter valve actuator by the operation of the variable intake air solenoid valve, closing the variable intake air shutter valve.
• Under this condition, the effective intake manifold length is from the intake valve to the dynamic chamber (A—C). An inertia charging effect is obtained due to this elongated intake manifold length, air intake volume increases, and higher torque is obtained at low to medium engine speeds.
When Intake Air Shutter Valve Opened
• The variable intake air shutter valve is open.
• Under this condition, the effective intake manifold length is from the intake valve to the dynamic chamber (B—C). The intake air inertia effect is obtained at high engine speeds due to this shortened intake air pipe, increasing intake airflow amount in the cylinder, and higher torque at high engine speeds is obtained.
