Warm up valve

[David Templeton]

It is the valve on the rad side of the block, just back from cyl 3, the
Haynes manual calls it a warm up valve. The donor car, also an '85 had one,
just wondered. I had to take it off to get the had off cause it staddled the
head/block joint.

Any ideas?

David, not sure what you're referring to exactly, but on your '85 I believe
you should have CIS-E, in which case it has an ISV which takes care cold
idling.  All CIS cars should have a cold-start valve, but I think you're
referring to the aluminum aux. air valve that lets in extra air for cold
starts, which your car shouldn't have if its a CIS-E (aluminum colored fuel
distributor).

Hi all,

My wagon is missing the warm-up valve!  Is this normal? Some DPO take it
off?  Emmisions requirement?

Thanks
