UGH I broke this, not sure what it is

[pat8635]

in manual the closest thing is idle controller valve ... It is on firewall side of engine and just below where the carburetor attaches.

I have an 88 accord LX that I am replacing the carb on!

Thanks for help. I have not done this work in decades and my mind is a little foggy!

so, a thermal ported vacuum switch. Can I bypass?

Thermo valve replacement

this might be it. Not sure about the bypass part I think is your choke pull off just a guess.
