ABSTRACT:
An internal combustion engine is provided with a biased by-pass throttle valve that trims the flow of supplementary combustion air for mixing with basic combustion air and fuel induced in carburetor venturi. The by-pass throttle valve is controlled by an electrical stepmotor that is regulated by a pre-programmed microprocessor in response to sensed engine speed and engine manifold pressure conditions to thereby improve engine operating efficiency and reduce noxious emissions without utilizing catalytic converter equipment.
