[T3] Aux. air device (AAD) for automatics

[Toby Erkson <air_cooled_nut@pobox.com>]

<x-flowed>Okay, how does this damn thing work?

My hoses are connected correctly.  There is a red wire attached to the 
bottom of it -- good, as that's what the automatic model is supposed to 
have.

I can completely close the idle bypass...nothing happens to the engine 
idle.  If I open up the idle bypass the rpm increase.

If I clamp off the hose from the air cleaner to the AAD (or pull off the 
hose and seal it with my thumb).  The engine dies.

This is with the engine cold as well as warmed up.  What gives?  How is 
it supposed to work and how does one test it?  I'm thinking that once 
the engine is warmed up the AAD would close, no longer allowing air to pass.
