Idle Tracking Switch

Signals MCU to go into "open loop" mode during idle and decelerating conditions. Switch is activated by position of throttle lever.

NOTE: To protect the vehicle from possible overtemperature conditions during extended idling, the MCU causes thermactor air to dump to atmosphere after 2 1/2 minutes of uninterrupted idling.
