    what is a thermovalve?

    Hi, can anyone explain briefly what is the purpose of 2 thermovalves under the intake? Are they electrical or have vacuum connections and can they mess up engine performance if failed?
    Also, I'd like to know what would fauly oxygen sensor do to a carburated engine. Thanks a lot.

    thermovalve is a valve that is controller by tempreture ! and it opens or closes to allow intake manifold vacuum to pass through it or close ! and every thermo valve has it's own tempreture that it opens or closes at !

    an O2 sensor in a carbed car is only for emmission purposes and doesn't affect the operation of the engine ! i don't have one because i have no emmision control in my car !
