Re: Two step versus high idle control solenoid
 

I agree Michael,the first time I used one,the guy who installed it, had used a flip switch on the dash to activate it. It takes longer to turn off in a panick/ dangerous situation,[end of track, or starter backing you out, misc].I changed to a button on the shift handle & had a lot of success with it. Most of my point for the thread was, I dont think it's fair to use in STOCKERS on some cars & not others just because the car had one from the factory. The factory DID NOT use a driver activated manual switch to activate it. Neither was it used to bring the rpms to 3500 +-. Thanx for all the responses.

Re: Two step versus high idle control solenoid
 

I used one of these on my street car for a season. It worked ok, but i didnt like it that much. But i know for sure that they are legal.

In stock under delay devices, it says see General Regulations 8:2 which says.....


(copying from rulebook)

In Categories that prohibit delay devices:

Changeable vehicle components, legal unto themselves (SOLENOIDS, throttle-linkage components, hoses, springs, etc.) even though the removal and replacement of that component may affect the reaction time of the vehicle in relation to the driver action, is not considered a delay device. WIRING MAY CONSIST OF A SINGLE CONTINUOUS WIRE FROM A POWER SOURCE TO A SWITCH (OR BUTTON), AND A SINGLE CONTINUOUS WIRE FROM THE SWITCH TO THE TRANSBRAKE OR LINCE-LOC SOLENOID. One splice (no quick disconnect) is permitted from the two-step to the solenoid (e.e., between the switch and the solenoid). All switches, buttons, wiring, solenoids, et.c must be for normal automotive use; i.e. NOT INENDED TO CREATE DELAY(ADJUSTABLE OR NON-ADJUSTABLE) BETWEEN THE RELEASE OF THE BUTTON AND THE RESULTANT ACTION OF THE SOLENOID. .................................................. ......................


So use away.
