Is there an idle solenoid on pinto engines equipped with the motorcraft 1v carbs?

Recommended Posts

I was looking at motomobils parts catalogue and saw that they are selling this anti dieseling solenoid https://www.motomobil.com/en/products/carburettor-solenoid-valve-anti-dieseling-kit-ohc-13-16l-only-for-single-choke-carburettor-15416730-8
But i went thru the german taunus workshop manual and couldnt find anything about this part in the manual so that makes me wonder is this part being sold some aftermarket kit that you can put on your car or did these come with the cars from the factory? Whenever i shut off the engine i also hear like a psssst vacuum kinda sound and i think these anti dieseling solenoids also work with vacuum but im not sure. So i was wondering if my car taunus tc2/cortina mk4 with 1.6 pinto motorcraft 1v carb has one of these or not. I tried looking for it in the engine bay but couldnt see something like this but maybe i missed it. Since i hear that psssst sound on shutdown i felt like it should have this part but i couldnt find it.

To best of my knowledge it was only used on MK1 fiesta's & a few MK2 escort ohvs in around 77/78 .

Then on the VV carb.
