 This is an honest-to-god quote from an early Japanese car owners manual. 
 The

Had to do a Google search of this.

Thanks Jim,  everyone else; yes this is something that is not needed
much; (would be nice to cool down a bit before getting inside car)  as it
would require a solenoid to stop shut off vacuum to vac. shutoff valve on
rear of inj. pump, when ign. sw. is in off position; all the dealers say
to have it professionally  installed; i would think i am as
professional as some of the youngsters doing it now

guess i will just spend my mad money on other stuff for the cars?!?!?;

Speaking of translations, I was looking over a german website, in 
translation, at early, 4-cyl diesel MB motorhome-from-van 
conversions. Terribly underpowered, but serviceable. In one listing 
was the sentence: Climbs mountains with many puffings.
