Coolant THERMOVALVE

Disconnect coolant thermovalve hose from No. 1 purge control valve nipple. With engine cold, blow into hose. Valve should be closed. Start engine and let idle. Valve should open when temperature reaches 131°F (55°C) or before engine is completely warmed. If thermovalve does not function, replace valve.
