don't sweat it too much though. TVSVs wear out over time so it's quite likely that yours needed replacing anyway.

Re: WTB: TVSV valve
I'd hate to spend that much. Anyone have any good used ones laying around?

Re: WTB: TVSV valve
all of the toyotas that had carbs in the 1980-'88 year range uses them. Go look at a self service wrecking yard, you will often fine one that was fairly new (recently replaced) for only a few $.

Re: WTB: TVSV valve
be sure to use the test in the FSM before installing any used TVSVs. all the ones i have found at wrecking yards were out of spec, which will cause poor running when fully warmed up. if you find a terc or corolla with really low miles, that would be your best bet.
Re: WTB: TVSV valve
I'm currently in the process of coming up with a manual replacement for the TVSV involving a mercedes 3-way vacuum switch-over valve and a dash-mounted lighted rocker switch (actually i installed it in my work beater a while back-waiting for real cold weather to check it's operation.) Kind of like an electrical hand choke-in the cold position manifold vacuum is routed to the AAP and in the hot position routed to ports m and l. No intermediate pos 'tho-don't think it will be a problem. Will keep you posted.
if it aint there, there's a good chance it won't break!

Re: WTB: TVSV valve
that's really interesting, rich. if you used an aftermarket temp gauge, you could even switch it at the correct temps. pretty neat.

I have a few that I'm not using, send me your phone number on a PM and I'll call you and we can discuss it. It'll be cheap.
