Vacuum Restrictor: Description and Operation

Vacuum Restrictor

The vacuum restrictor may be inserted into the vacuum hose line or act as the joint between two vacuum hoses. This orifice-type restrictor controls the
vacuum flow rate and/or timing in action of a vacuum operated component. The vacuum restrictor is commonly used in controlling the timing of the 
EGR valve opening and closing, the rate at which fuel vapors are absorbed by the charcoal canister, and ignition spark timing advance while the vehicle
is at part throttle.
