The tuning valve (rotary solenoid device) is electrically controlled by the PCM based on RPM and TP signal inputs, for accurate switching capability at optimum switching points to enable either a "split" or "single" plenum condition.

During low and high end of the RPM range, the PCM de-energizes the valve and enables a "split" plenum condition that provides for peak torque along with increased peak horsepower.

During the mid RPM range, the PCM energizes the valve, thus enabling a "single" tuning plenum condition that provides for mid RPM range peak torque.
