[DML] Re: Retrofitting Volvo Aux Air Valve

["content22207" <brobertson@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

PRV equipped Volvo's have water pump mounted fans, not electric...

Aux air valve has absolutely nothing to do with the cooling system
anyway. Is basically a one way version of the idle speed motor (allows
additional air past the throttle plates cold, gradually closing as the
engine warms up). Was standard issue on all Volvo K Jetronic PRV's
until 1981, which of course means one can easily be retrofitted on a
DeLorean if so desired. Mounts in the same place on driver's intake
rail as an idle speed motor, using the same barbs under the fuel/air
mixture unit and on the cold start tube. 

I've uploaded a pic to #5939's photo album of one from a Volvo Bertone.
