Deceleration Spark Control

To decrease hydrocarbons emitted during vehicle deceleration, ignition timing is advanced by solenoid operated vacuum on distributor, changing vacuum supplied to valve from carburetor ported vacuum to intake manifold vacuum. Solenoid valve is controlled by ECU based on engine speed, and a dashpot delays throttle valve closure to its normal idling position.
