So what does BVSV stand for?

[Dirgle]

BVSV stands for Bimetal Vacuum Switching Valve. It's a thermal vacuum switch which uses temperature(coolant temp in our cars) to activate or deactivate the vacuum switch.

good call....and ive been looking at one of these for a few things...anyone know if you can get them at any auto parts store? or if im gonna have to custom order some of these bitches lol....

[Dirgle]

There damn near impossible to get in a parts store, so be careful not to break them. There a dealer item and my dealer was 4 weeks out. So I said screw it and ripped the EGR stuff out. This was when I was in Colorado, now I'm in Cali and wishing I hadn't done that.

Oh ideal is WRONG.... a vsv is controled by electricity, NOT by vacum
