ID this VSV (I think its a VSV) '87 Turbo

[steveaw11]

I dont have an extra plug on the harness, nor any stray vac lines, so im really confused.
Motor was a replacement I bought from an 87 with harness already on it. I used the harness on the replacement motor.

I dont have an AC compressor atm.

Just trying to figure this one out so when i pull the motor to fix it I dont forget this one if its needed when I reinstall.

Yeah that is a VSV, check under your intake manifold there should be two dark red connectors going to two VSV's. For a 7MGTE there is one for the fuel pressure up and for the EGR. you should be able to locate them, that maybe is just an extra one bolted on there, thats not a usual location for those valves..

 

[steveaw11]

Not a normal location, okay so I figure it was something with the old motor, as this one does have 2 already under the intake.

 

[modmonster2008]

Yeah, If it has two under the intake, that must have been an extra or how the old motor was set up.

odd place to mount a vsv......all i can think off is the original stoped working, and mouted it there as it was easier to mount it.

Always nice to have a spare in the shop though... Like all the other small parts, getting mucho tough to find....

May be something like I did where I got rid of the bvsv and used my aftermarket electric fan switch to trigger a vsv to go to the canister.
