Re: 83 Ram air

The air door solenoid is controlled by the ECM.It takes a signal from the TPS that you're at full throttle(above 75% I believe)in any foward gear.But only after the motor is at mormal operating temp(the ECM goes into closed loop).

below are pictures of the air door assembly on my '83.Looking at the picture I need to clean the underside so please excuse.
