***Knowledge Test***

my guess would be that the hoses carry coolant to a thermo sensor which lets the ECU know when the appropriate time the valve should close becaus the engine has warmed up. like the wax, the ecu is what closes via a silenoid, i suppose.

maybe an incentive to the winner? Like their name on a wall of fame?

BTW like I said congrats on breaking your thread cherry I'm not ashamed to admit it's way over my technical knowledge, props to those who get it in advance.

If i had a vast knowledge of earlier civic engines i would be down like 4 flat tires. But, I'll be the 1st to admit, Im not too familiar with the thermovalve or FITV..

I never claimed to be ASE certified, just get info from friends experiences and my own..

Lol RonJ! I just joined over here and was looking for a place to slap my engine build thread. This looks like alot of fun, I'll have to read all the way through it and play next go around

the iacv uses the coolant temp to tell the ecm how far it needs to open or close the valve

Such a great idea, similar to something I started the other, respectively dubbed "fun fact of the day" but considering this is a Civic forum it makes sense to keep it motor vehicle related, can't wait to see what the next question will be.

...holy old damn thread....

 

[miller92eg6]

my guess would be that they all come on because the car has not been started yet therefore since its not on all the lights are set off because the engine hasn't started for the sensore to read correct information.....but I could be horribly wrong.lol
