John;
The switch energizes an air bypass valve located behind the air
cleaner(on our 85). The purpose is to raise the idle RPMs to compensate
for any load the pump puts on the engine. On our 85 it is connected
directly to the valve. On a digifant system the connection may be
different but the function would be the same.
Drive Safely & Good Luck
