Not quite correct - there's full engine vacuum at downstream of the throttles but this drops as the throttles are opened. Full throttle sees little or no vacuum advance. Basically what the DeLorean setup does is to run more advance under light throttle - which is done on a lot of modern engines to clean up emissions (making sure the burn is complete). Euro PRV's circa 81 didn't worry too much about this. There are numerous different vacuum setups in my Renault manual - some even using the delay valve on ignition advance for engines used at high altitude Martin content22207 wrote: > In the DeLo setup, vacuum advance is either full on or full off. > Solenoid cuts off vacuum at idle, then shoots 100% as soon as the > throttle plates open (idle speed microswitch opens). > To address comments privately to the moderating team, please address: moderators@xxxxxxxxxxx For more info on the list, tech articles, cars for sale see www.dmcnews.com To search the archives or view files, log in at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/dmcnews Yahoo!
