Vacuum Control Valve

When manifold vacuum is high, valve closes vacuum to EGR valve. During periods of low manifold vacuum, control valve opens to allow vacuum to operate second stage of EGR valve and allow full exhaust gas recirculation. Vacuum control valve is mounted on firewall to prevent damage caused by engine vibration.
