Air Injection System

Air is drawn from the air cleaner into the air pump. From here, air is sent through system and eventually to the air injection manifold where it is injected into the exhaust ports. A thermal vacuum switch, which responds to coolant temperature, will delay air injection until normal operating temperatures are reached. System components may include air switching valve, diverter valve (relief valve), or delay valve to control air injection operation according to engine operating conditions.
