By using a non-local and time-dependent theory of convection, the linear non-adiabatic oscillations of radial and low-degree non-radial F-p8 modes are calculated for the stellar evolutionary models in the mass range of 1.4∼3.0 Mʘ, with three helium abundances of convective envelope (Y =0.28, 0.13, 0.00), and the solar metal abundance (Z =0.02). The numerical results show that the red edge of theoretical δ Scuti instability strip almost does not change with the helium abundance. With the decrease of the helium abundance, the blue edge of the δ Scuti instability strip moves toward the direction of low temperatures, the high-temperature stars on the hot side of instability strip become more stable, while the low-temperature stars on the cold side of instability strip become more instable. It seems to be impossible to explain the non-variable stars in the δ Scuti instability strip by using the diffusion of helium. However, the ratios of non-variable stars to variable stars in the hot and cold sides of the δ Scuti strip may be taken as the observational evidence of helium diffusion.
