Fast Idle Thermovalve

Valve is mounted on bottom of throttle body and has coolant hoses connected to it. A thermowax plunger inside valve allows additional air to by-pass throttle plate when engine coolant is cold, which increases engine speed. As engine warms, thermowax expands, closing off by-pass air, reducing engine speed. No adjustment is possible.
