RENAULT R10 & R16 Engine Modification: Operation: Notes

Pistons with reduced top clearance are designed to reduce hydrocarbon emissions. Intake manifold and cylinder head have separate ports which give a better distribution of air/fuel mixture to cylinders. Accelerated idle system maintains a partial opening of primary throttle plate when decelerating to maintain exhaust emissions within specified range. Operation of this system is controlled by several units.
