ELECTRONIC FUEL INJECTION - AFC
Auxiliary Air Regulator
The engine requires during the warm-up phase a
richer
mixture.
The increased volume is determined
by the control unit (signal from temperature sensor
II). The additional volume of air required for this
purpose is regulated by the auxiliary air regulator
and detoured around the throttle valve into the
intake air distributor.
Construction
The auxiliary
air
regulator consists of a slide valve
and a bi-metal spring which is enclosed by an
electrical heating coil.
Operation
If the engine is cold, the auxiliary

and the slide valve slowly shuts off the air
