This prevents the vacuum advance unit from becoming vacuum locked at some advance position.<\/em><\/p><p><em>The TCS System also incorporates a temperature override system which provides full vacuum in all gears when the engine is cold for improved drivability. A thermostatic water temperature switch provides the signal which energizes a normally closed relay, opening the circuit to the solenoid vacuum switch, thus providing full vacuum. Some vehicles also have a hot override switch which provides full vacuum to improve engine cooling.<\/em><\/p><p><em>The system may be checked for proper function by connecting a vacuum gauge in the hose between the solenoid and the distributor. Full vacuum should be obtained when the transmission is in gear as indicated on above chart when the engine is warm and running.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-08c3822 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"08c3822\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-6995115\" data-id=\"6995115\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-db74617 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"db74617\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>In order for the TCS system to work the car needs to be at operating temperature and in a higher gear and then it will tweak the vacuum advance to the distributor.
