A slide valve for use in an air intake manifold is disclosed, wherein a durability of the valve and a quality of a seal created while the valve is in a closed position are maximized, and a cost and a weight of the valve are minimized.

Tuning slide valve for intake manifold

A tester,suitable for testing fuel system components of an automotive vehicle such as a fuel pump,, a fuel sender,and a pressure transducer,has a housing,that is coupled to a power supply,. Switch SW,is used to selectively power the fuel pump,. A second switch SW,is used to selectively couple power to transducer,. A final test port TP,and a second test port TP,are places where the electrical characteristics of the fuel system components may be measured. For example, the sender resistance and transducer output voltage may be measured.
