Re: Where is this valve??

[jtrealty@xxxx]

The valve I think you are refering to is located UNDER the air intake 
plenum. It is very difficult to see and impossible to reach without 
removing the plenum. If it is not hooked up or is hooked up wrong, 
while you are under the plenum replace all cooling system hoses and 
seals.
