The resistance of the vacuum solenoid relay coil is high and the resistance of the A/C compressor clutch coil is low. Therefore, when the vacuum
solenoid relay is energized (A/C off) the voltage drop across the A/C compressor clutch coil is low and is not sufficient to engage the clutch. The A/C
clutch coil also provides a good path for the vacuum solenoid relay coil, due to its low resistance.

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION:
"Throttle Kicker" is vacuum operated and extends under the following conditions:
^

Coolant temperature below 85~C (185~F).

^

For 30 seconds after start if coolant temperature above 85~C (185~F).

^

A/C "ON" and pressure cycling switch closed (clutch "ON").

^

Full turn (power steering switch open).
