I live in Montana where there are no emission laws. I have a broken TVSV and it's way too expensive to replace so I want to disconnect the vacuum lines. Does anyone know of a diagram that shows how someone has blocked/bypassed or modified all the vacuum lines in the engine bay or bypassed the TVSV?
At the moment I have them all blocked off and it runs perfectly but not until it has warmed up for 10 minutes or so. If it doesn't start immediately then I have to leave it for an hour before it will start. In MT it is too cold to be standing around for an hour and I am sure the lines I blocked off have this effect.
I appreciate pictures or diagrams of modified lines to help me.
Thanks.

Re: Vacuum Hoses
Not to be horsey - but did you do a Search here? There are some threads lurking in this Q Forum.
I pursued this myself, but the Aisan just won't work too well without vac stuff.

Re: Vacuum Hoses
read the function of the TVSV in the FSM, and you can by pass it. It allows vac advance only a cooler engine temps, and than it causes spark retarding. There is no benefit to spark retarding excpet for emissions, it affects both power and ecomey. I would by-pass the valve so only the vac advance works, and block off the vac retard lines.

I check to see if your choke is working right.

Re: Vacuum Hoses
Thanks. I guess I should have searched on here first. There are some good articles.
Re: Vacuum Hoses
There is a post with the vac diagrams in it. I tried to bypass most of the vac tubing once and couldn't get mine to run right.

Re: Vacuum Hoses
I have now actually repaired the valve by looking at the pics in this repair guide. Just waiting for the battery to charge and try it.
