Throttle Opener System

When throttle is closed suddenly at high engine speeds, hydrocarbon emissions increase due to engine misfire caused by an incombustible mixture. The throttle opener is designed to prevent misfiring during deceleration by causing throttle valve to remain slightly open allowing better mixture control. System consists of a throttle opener unit and a throttle control valve.
