The TVS switch being mounted on the return housing is sensing tempature and will not know when the engine is at idle vs. wide open throttle. Logic would dictate that this switch is dealing with a hot vs. cold engine situation. I would also believe that it was an emmissions situation.

Having work on many engines with out all of the smog adaptations less advance on a cold engine will make it run smoother during warm up.


on a cold engine the choke is closed and the throttle is held open on the cam. would this then cause the vac. advance to kick in? my engine runs rough on first start up but smooths out when warm. i run ported vac. i also set my timing for max vacuum then back off a bit.
