It accomplishes this with a bi-metal strip. This is a stand-alone assembly. It can be found by the firewall below or behind the intake manifold.



Soo how could a guy go about hooking this up to a ve to help with cold starts? ve throttle is not an option. Maybe just Y off the iacv hose to one side then maybe hook it to a nipple on the plenum? Do you know what pin on the ECU it uses? I could maybe set haltech up to utilize it..

Ok so I did some research, looks like the air regulator thingy in question isn't even ECU controlled I don't think.. looks like it gets powered off the fuel pump relay so it's not 5v it's 12v and then grounded, I'm not sure yet if it's only powered while the fuel pump runs or just when the key is on, id assume only when the pumps running tho.. so a feller could probably just plug in the factory wire from the b13 harness provided i didnt cut it off and it should just work, as to weather i could plumb it to a nipple on the plenum I'm not sure I'll habe to play around with thst when i get my new engine in lol
