ported vaccum switch AKA thermowax switching valve

SKIP TO SECOND PARAGRAPH FOR GOOD INFORMATION

well i was going 2 skool 2day and i was bout half way there then my car began to act funny ("oh shit, wut is it now") so i make 2 skool and i pull my car into the shop and i find that my thermowax switching valve has a split in half. so i start calling up auto zone, car quest, napa auto parts, kragen, and pep boys for the part, and well they all have to order it. so i thought i should go check out the junk yard to see if they have one and lets just say i wasted 2 bucks and bout 3 hours looking to find out they all r broken. so i went to auto zone and bought for bout 30 bucks and now i have 2 wait till saturday 2 get it.



well after driving my car bak home, i notice my car was not as fast as before so then i decide to do some research on this part and i found out that it is a major part of engine.


here is a video explaining everything..........
