Throttle Opener System: Operation

When engine speed sensor detects engine speed at or below specified value, solenoid valve is opened, allowing intake manifold vacuum to throttle opener. Throttle valve is slightly opened by throttle opener and opener lever located on throttle valve shaft. Engine will then run at a speed resulting from new throttle valve opening. When a heavy load condition does not exist, throttle opener system stops working and engine runs at normal speed.
