Ezl

Why does removing the vacuum line at the EZL on the 420sel make the engine idle quieter?

Thats a new one.... Sounds too good to be true..

The vaccum is there to let the EZL decide when to advance the timing based on the amount of vaccum.

More vaccum = Idle or slow moving
Less Vaccum = Wide Open Throttle or fast moving

So pulling the vaccum will let the EZL think that the car needs more advance timing and power thus advancing the timing.

I wonder if the quiter engine you are referring may be due to the absence of the shaking at low idle; in which case increasing the idle will smoothen it out a little....

Hope it helps.

It definitly sounds as if it slows the engine speed down at idle.

When vaccum drops, timing is retarded. Engine runs slower.
When vaccum increases, timing is advanced. Engine runs faster.
