VARIABLE INTAKE AIR SOLENOID VALVE CONSTRUCTION/OPERATION [LF, L3]


id0113z11479b3

Construction

• Mainly composed of the solenoid coil, spring, and plunger.

Operation

Energized
• The solenoid coil magnetizes, pulling the plunger. The passage between A and B ports opens due to the plunger being pulled, and intake manifold vacuum is applied to the actuator.
De-energized
• The intake manifold vacuum passage is blocked, and the passage between ports B and C opens, depressurizing the actuator.
