Abstract
An engine rotation speed control system for automotive vehicles having internal combustion engines comprises a solenoid actuated valve having a solenoid coil for controling the flow of air through a throttle bypass passage to the intake manifold during engine idling upon energization of the solenoid coil. The electrical circuit for the solenoid coil is provided with a variable resistance arrangement so that sufficient current will be supplied to the solenoid coil upon engine starting in spite of a voltage drop in the battery at cold temperatures.
Claims4
An engine rotation speed control system for automotive vehicles having an internal combustion engine comprising a carburetor having an air intake passage, an intake manifold and a throttle valve disposed intermediate said air intake passage and said intake manifold, air passage means by-passing said throttle valve disposed in communication with said air intake passage and said intake manifold, a solenoid actuated valve provided with a solenoid coil disposed in said air passage means for controlling the amount of air by-passing said throttle valve when said throttle valve is closed during idling, a battery for supplying electric current to said solenoid coil, a resistor connecting said battery and one end of said solenoid coil, first and second switch means connected in series with each other and connected in parallel with said resistor, ignition switch means controlling said first switch and temperature sensitive means controlling said second switch whereby when said ambient temperature surrounding said engine is below a predetermined temperature said first and second switches will be closed upon operation of said ignition switch to by-pass said resistor and increase the current supplied to said solenoid coil.
