THROTTLE
OPENER
CONTROL

SYSTEM

The
function
of
the
throttle

opener
is

to

open
the

throttle
valve
of
carburetor

slightly
in

vehicle
decelera

tion

During
deceleration
manifold
vacuum
rises

and
a

quantity
of
mixture
in
the

enigne
is

not
sufficient
so
that

a
normal
combustion
can
not
continue
and
a

great

amount
of
unburned
HC
is

emitted
The
carburetor

equipped
with
the
throttle

opener
supplies
the

engine

with
an

adequate
charge
of
combustible
mixture
to

keep
proper
combustion

during
deceleration

resulting
in
re

markable
reduction
of

He
emission

The

operation
of
the

throttle

opener
is
as
follows
A

schematic

drawing
of
the

system
is
shown
in

Figure

ET
16

At
the

moment
when
the
manifold

vacuum
increases

as

occurs

upon
deceleration
the

control
valve

opens
to

transfer
the
manifold

vacuum
to

the
servo

diaphragm

chamber
and
the
throttle
valve
of
the
carburetor

opens

slightly
As
the
vehicle

speed
decreases

above
16

km
h

10

MPH
for
manual
transmission

only
the
manifold

vacuum
lowers
to
the

predetermined
value
The
vacuum

control
valve

begins
to
close

gradually
keeping
the

manifold

vacuum
at
the

predetermined
constant
value

As
a

result
both
low
HC
emission
and
normal

engine

brake

during
deceleration
are

obtained

The

altitude
corrector
is

provided
with
a

slight
preload

to

compensate
the

variation
of
the

atmospheric
pressure

Vacuum

control
solenoid

The

purpose
of
this
control
is
to
return
the

speed
of

engine
to
the

prescribed
idling
positively
To
be

accurate
the

control

prevents
the
throttle

opener
from

taking
normal

operation
when
vehicle

speed
is
below

16

km
h

IO
MPH
for
manual
transmission

equipped

model
or
when
transmission
is

placed
in

N
or

P

position
for
automatic
transmission

equipped
model

Current
flows

through
the

solenoid
when
vehicle

speed

falls
below
16
km

10

on

manual
transmission

equipped
model
or
when
the
transmission
is

placed
in

N
or

P

position
on
automatic
transmission

equipped
model

As
this
takes

place
the
needle
valve
is
lifted
off
its
seat

directing
air
from
the
air
chamber
to
the
servo

diaphragm
This
releases
the

operation
of
the
throttle

opener

When

vehicle

speed
goes
over
16
km

IO
MPH
or

when
transmission

is

placed
in
a

position
other
than

N

or

position

solenoid

allowing
the
throttle

opener
to
take

action

to

Inspection

Among
the

possible
troubles
of
this
device
the

most

liable
is
the

permanent
opening
of
valve

This
trouble
is
not

noticed
in
warm
weather
but
in

cold
weather

appears
as

poor

performance
of

engine

such

as

tardy
acceleration
hesitation
or

engine
stall
In

such

case
first

inspect
this

device
before

checking
the

carburetor

Another
trouble
which

might
be

expected
is
that
the

underhood
air
is

kept
closed

by
the
valve

regardless
of

the

temperature
of
suction
air
around
the

sensor
while

the

engine
is

running
This
ttOuble

appears
in
the

form

of

extremely
excessive
fuel

consumption
or
decrease
in

power

inspection
of
this
device

should
be
