Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9322166A1] An engine immobilisation system comprises a blockage device (18) operable in the exhaust duct (24) of the engine aspiration system at a location close to the engine to cause a reverse flow of gas to choke the engine. Blockage is effected by a high-temperature resistant blockage member (34) operating in a manner similar to a butterfly valve and actuated by a flexible drive cable. An electronic control system (48) actuates a stepper motor (42) to control blockage in accordance with sensed vehicle parameters including detection of unauthorised use of the vehicle.
