EAC Valve An abbreviation for Electric air control valve. This is the GM version of a diverter air gulp valve, providing three functions in a single valve
•the normal diverter valve function, i.e., it diverts air on rapid increase in manifold vacuum;
•it relieves pressure by diverting air to the air cleaner when the air injection system pressure exceeds a certain set level;
•being solenoid-controlled, it allows air to be diverted under any desired operating mode.
