Cold Weather Modulator

Ford Motor Co. vehicles have a vacuum modulator located in the air cleaner. During engine operation in cold weather, it prevents the air control door opening to outside non-heated air for periods of at least 2 minutes, even when the vacuum control temperature sensor is commanding the open signal.
