ABSTRACT:
An air intake heater system for internal combustion engines is disclosed including a microprocessor controller, intake manifold air temperature sensing means, water in fuel sensors, electrical air heating elements actuated by the microprocessor, and system status indicators. Additionally, fuel injector timing is altered by the microprocessor depending upon intake manifold air temperature. Air intake heating is provided to assist cold weather starting of engines as well as for minimizing white smoke pollutants produced by diesel engines. Power consumption of the device is maintained below a predetermined level by judicious use of the microprocessor controller in conjunction with the electrical heating elements.
