Vacuum Sensor & Solenoid Valve

The vacuum sensor provides accurate, linear and continuous sensing of changes within the intake manifold. A solenoid valve is placed in the pressure line between the intake manifold and vacuum sensor. The valve senses changes in atmospheric pressure and corrects the air/fuel mixture in high altitude. See Figure .
