DescriptionINFOID:0000000001327082
SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
*: The ECM determines the start signal status by the signals of engine speed and battery voltage.
When the engine is running at low or medium speed, the power valve isfully closed. Under this condition, the
effective suction port length is equivalentto the total lengt h of the intake manifold collector's suction port includ-
ingthe intake valve. This long suction port provides incr eased air intake whichresults in improved suction effi-
ciency and higher torque generation.
The surge tank and one-way valve are provided. When engine is runningat high speed, the ECM sends the
signal to the VIAS control solenoid valve.This signal introduces the intake manifold vacuum into the power
valve actuatorand therefore opens the power valve to two suction passages together in thecollector.
Under this condition, the effective port length is equi valent to thelength of the suction port provided indepen-
dently for each cylinder. Thisshortened port length results in enhanced engine output with reduced suctionre-
sistance under high speeds.
The power valve is always open regardless of the engine speed when gear position is in N or P.

VARIABLE INDUCTION AIR CONTROL SYSTEM (VIAS)
The power valve is installed in intake manifold collector and used to
control the suction passage of the variable induction air control sys-
tem. It is set in the fully closed or fully opened position by the power
valve actuator (1) operated by the
vacuum stored in the surge tank.
The vacuum in the surge tank is controlled by the VIAS control sole-
noid valve.
: Vehicle front
VIAS Control Solenoid Valve
The VIAS control solenoid valve (1) cuts the intake manifold vacuum
signal for power valve control. It responds to ON/OFF signals from
the ECM. When the solenoid is off, the vacuum signal from the
intake manifold is cut. When the ECM sends an ON signal the coil
pulls the plunger downward and feeds the vacuum signal to the
power valve actuator.
