5.2.6 Starting valve
The starting valve in each cylinder cover supplies pressurized air into the combustion chamber
in the two situations that follow:
•
To start the engine before combustion starts
•
To decrease the engine speed when combustion has stopped.
The ECS and the cylinder control modules (CCM-20) control and monitor the starting valves.
Each starting valve opens and closes at the correct crank angle of the related cylinder. This
makes the piston move down (for engine start) or makes the piston speed decrease (for engine
speed decrease).
As soon as combustion starts the starting air supply stops.
