After a few minutes of the engine air damper should be completely open and occupy a vertical position. When the engine check the surface of the axis of the air damper for possible deposits that can lead to jamming of the damper. To clean, use a special spray valve. Clean the damper shaft by turning the valve manually. Apply a spray lubricant on the contact surface traction and make sure that the damper moves freely.
