Aspirator Valve
Definition:
A one-way valve attached to the exhaust system of an engine that admits air during periods of vacuum between exhaust pressure pulses. Used to help oxidize HC and CO, and to supply additional air which the catalytic converter may require. Can be used instead of a belt-driven air injection pump in some applications. Called "Pulse-Air" in GM systems.
