Thermal Vacuum Spark Control Valve (TVS)

Disconnect vacuum hose to port "1" of spark CTO and connect vacuum gauge to hose. Start engine. With intake air below calibrated TVS temperature, manifold vacuum should be indicated on gauge. When intake air above calibrated TVS temperature, no vacuum should be indicated on gauge. If either is incorrect, replace spark TVS.
