This prevents when engine is shut down, On 1375 end 1976 me atalylic converters, the solenoid 's also controlled by a tachi metric unit, This unit cemoves the electrical signal to the solenoid during deceleration over 2550 © 50 RPE. This causes the solenoid to deenergize, shutting off the idie fuel flow. High Idle During dacelerations a richer sir-fuel mixture is formed. To prevent this @ high idle system is used. The system consists of 2 vacuum capsule on the carburetor, an electrovalve, a switch on ‘the cluteh pedal, (standard transmission only) a switch on the ‘ansmistion, and vacuum lines connecting the vacuum capsule 10 the intake manifold thru tho olectrovaive Automatic Choke (4) The carburetar contains sn automatic choke.

FuseHigh ldie System The high idle system prevents the primary throttle plate (1) from closing completely when accelerator is released during deceleration. This prevents an over rich mixture which would result in an excessive exhaust emission level. ‘8 vacuum diaphragm (6) on the carburetor is attached by link (5) to idler lever (4). Lever (4) is mounted on the shatt for the secondary throttle plate (3). When vacuum is applied to dia phragm (6), lever [4) rotates and contacts cam {2} on the shaft for primary throttle plate (1). This prevents plate (1) from closing completely. ‘The diaphragm (6) is controlled by electrovalve (17). The lectrovelve (17) is im the vacuum signal line (18) from the intake manifold. When the clactrovalve is energized vacuum is applied to diaphragm (6) Electrical power is applied directly to the electrovaive. The ‘ground creuit is routed thru switch (12, standard transmis: sions only! and switch (13), (On auromatic transmission switch (13) operates in thied gear, applying ground for electrovalve (17) (On standard transmission switch (13) is operated by thied and fourth gear shift rail. The clutch pedal switch (12) cuts out the system when the pedal ie depressed while in thicd and fourth gear, This allows for smoother shifting When the system is deenergized diaphragm (6) is returned to rest position by spring (2). Atmospheric pressure is vented t0 ‘the diaphragm housing theu air bleed passage (10) and a cali rated bushing.

This opens choke plate (2} to increase air flow. The vacuum signal pulls diaphragm rod (9). A shouldered bushing (14) attached to rod (9) contacts lever (6) and moves the Tinkage to partially open choke plate (2). Thermostatic spring (11) opposes this mavernent until a balance is achieved with the strength of the vacuum signal, The vacuuen signal is strongest when the engine is running smooth. If the engine falters, vacuum is weakened, allowing spring {11} to close the ‘choke plate and enrich the mixture, Detail As the engine warms up, thermostatic tpring (11) is heated by engine coolant. This causes the spring to expand clockwise, moving the linkage and opening choke plate (2). When accelerator is depressed, screw (15) is moved away from ‘cam (8). Fast idle cam return spring (10) can then rotate cam (8) 10 2 lower step. The amount of rotation is determined by ‘the tension of thermostatic spring (11) which rotates lever (6) J apalies more or less tension to epring (10) Detail When thermostatic spring (11) is sufficiently heated to open ‘choke piate (2) completely, enough tension is applied to spring (10) t0 ceturn fast idle cam (5) to the normal cle position DETAIL ‘xOPERATION vaporative Emission Control aw fuel vapors eeeurring In float chamber (1) eannot be allowed to escape into the atmosphere, In addition, heat ia the ‘carburetor inereases the amount of vapors.
