Oldsmobile Cutlass Diverter Valve
The Oldsmobile Cutlass Diverter Valve is mainly responsible for the protection of exhaust components and reduction of exhaust emissions by determining whether the pressurized flow of the AIR pump enters the manifolds, the catalytic converter or vents harmlessly to atmosphere during sudden throttle lift. This Diverter Valve responds to the manifold vacuum and opens passages to the cylinder heads as the engine warms up. It then diverts flow to the converter when normal temperature is reached, which causes the catalyst to activate more quickly and reduces hydrocarbon and carbon monoxide output. During deceleration, it immediately expels excess air outside so rich pulses cannot ignite inside the pipes, which prevents loud backfires as well as damage. Early Oldsmobile models applied a simple vacuum-diaphragm Diverter Valve, but later computer-era models allowed the ECM to accomplish the same task. The basic Diverter Valve poppet and spring configuration remained familiar in every Cutlass generation. Maintaining a healthy Diverter Valve also protects the AIR pump by cooperating with one-way check valves, which maintains fuel economy. In short, the Diverter Valve keeps emissions legal on any road-going Oldsmobile Cutlass.

Oldsmobile Cutlass Diverter Valve Parts Questions & Experts Answers
- Q: How to diagnose, remove and install Diverter Valve,Secondary Air Injection Check Valve and Secondary Air Injection Pump on Oldsmobile Cutlass?A:The air injection reactor system acts to minimize the amount of hydrocarbons in the exhaust through the introduction of fresh air into the exhaust manifold ports of each engine cylinder helping in the burning of the uncompeted hydrocarbons. It runs through all engine speeds and the passage of air is blocked only sometimes during deceleration and at high speeds when fresh air in abundance may cause back fires. In GM engine, the parts of this system include the air injection pump, an air diverter valve, manifold, and injection tubes, and the check valves that are provided at the end of hose connected to the pump. Installed automotive systems are dependable, but failure of any of them leads to engine surge, back firing, overheating sparks, although the air-pump is the most sensitive part. The drive belt should also be checked for crack or fray and also make sure that it has the right tension. The hose should be examined for flow when the engine is on, and the diverter valve should discharge air when tested. Exhaust gases should not re-enter the air pump and for this; check valves should be installed and the functionality checked. Hose connection leaks can be done with the help of a soapy water solution to identify the leaks. For removal and installation of this air pump, the disconnect hoses, and compress the drive belt and finally remove the securing bolts. The diverter valve comes with hoses as well as securing bolts to be disconnected during removal and also has some particularities to be used with regard to the replacement valves. High temperatures may mean that the air manifold and injection tubes will need penetrating oil to remove and installation needs anti-seize compound on threads. These valves cannot be removed without disconnecting the air supply hose, then using wrenches for slow and cautious removal; the process of installation is similar to the process of removal.
