An air conditioner compressor clutch control that senses operator demands for acceleration from low vehicle speeds and several other variables, to release the engagement of the clutch for a period of time that is dependent on vehicle speed, throttle position or a maximum time period.

Method and apparatus for controlling the clutch of an air conditioning

An intake system for a multicylinder internal combustion engine includes a manifold having inlet runners for conducting charge air into the cylinders of an engine, and at least one secondary throttle valve situated within at least one of the inlet runners. An electrically driven motor positions the secondary throttle valve, with the motor being operated by a controller, which senses engine operating parameters including the temperature of an electrically driven motor which powers the secondary throttle valve.
