VARIABLE INTAKE-AIR SYSTEM OPERATION [L3 R.H.D.]


BUE011300020N03

Engine speed less than 4,750 rpm (variable intake air shutter valve closed)

• Intake manifold vacuum is applied to the variable intake air shutter valve 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 in the cylinder increases, and higher torque is obtained at low to medium engine speeds.

Engine speeds 4,750 rpm or more (variable intake air shutter valve closed)

• The variable intake air shutter valve is open.
• Under this condition, the effective intake manifold length is from the intake valve to the secondary dynamic chamber (B-C). An inertia charging effect is obtained due to this shortened intake manifold length, air intake volume in the cylinder increases, and higher torque is obtained at high engine speeds.
