🔌 Function

Heats the incoming air on cranking so a cold engine will fire and pick up cleanly.

⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

• Hard starting from cold that clears once the engine has run
• Heavy white smoke on cranking and for the first seconds of running
• Element drawing no current, or the supply fuse blowing on the start cycle
• Element visibly burnt, blistered or broken through
• Long cranking before the engine catches in cold weather

🛠️ Service Notes

• This element draws a heavy current, so isolate the batteries before working on it and check the supply cable and its connections for heat damage at the same time
• Check the relay and the timer circuit before condemning the element, since both produce the same cold-starting symptom
