So, I have searched here and I did search on google and bing and I'm going crazy..

Can someone in simple, everyday terms, explain to me exactly what the SAI system is for.. What is it? Why is it there?

Again, I did look first, maybe didn't look in the right place, but I did try.

Thanks fellas for your help, I'm just trying to figure all of this stuff out, its all so new and exciting to me!

I look forward to you all's responses!!

Take care and I hope you are all having great days.

 

From Spike555 found in the "Write Ups" and "How To" section......

"it forces fresh air down the exhaust and into the catalitic convertors to help them heat up faster, cold cats dont reduce emissons but hot cats do, so thats it what it is doing and that is why it only happens when cold.

Think of it as a black smiths bellows, he needs a hotter flame he uses the bellows to make the fire hotter, the SAI does the same thing.
That is also why you have the fast idle, a cold engine is very ineffcient."

Read every post in the "Write Ups" and "How to" section and you'll find a lot of answers to your questions.

 

Very cool, thank you so much, i will go back through and look it over again! I truly appreciate it! I have been racking my brain and clicking from here to ten buck too all morning trying to find the answer!

again, i truly appreciate you help.

Take care!!

 

No sweat! Shout out to Spike for that very nice description of the SAI system.

...and BTW, welcome to the forum!

 

Thank you once again!!
