Testing camshaft timing control

By altering the valve timing the engine control unit varies the cylinder charge to suit the current engine load and rpm.

The timing of the inlet camshaft is controlled according to engine load and engine speed. The electrically operated solenoid valve for camshaft adjustment transmits oil pressure to the mechanical camshaft adjuster as required.

Note:

The camshaft timing control only becomes active 25 seconds after the engine is started.
