Trapped Vacuum Spark

Trapped vacuum spark is used on all models. A Thermal Vacuum Switch (TVS) is mounted in cylinder head coolant passage. A vacuum check valve is mounted between manifold vacuum, distributor and TVS. The system maintains high vacuum levels to the distributor during cold engine operation and cold engine acceleration.
