Just curious ... relay kicks on and sends voltage to plugs, fading to zero voltage over time to avoid burnout. Ambient air temp sensor decides how quickly full burn ends and fades to zero, or when to let the light go out to indicate ignition to the driver? In others words, does the sensor affect burn intensity and time like it does in a modern car, or is that static in a 85 benz and the only variable is the light telling you when to turn the key.

I assume this is dumb question, and it is the former.
