2 double thermo vacuum valves

WOW, if its emission then you don't need it to run the car
etc does it affect cold idle?

Mine broke
I connected the 2 lines that went into it together & the valve is tvv is not
attached to anything..just 2 holes...

Should I have just plugged each one rather than connecting?

I don't understand how it works
but luckily the car runs though when temp reaches 50 as its a red tvv
the idle gets lumpy...

Also I have been having a hi idle at cold starts & was thinking perhaps this could be the cause as apparently my tvv is hooked into the warm up regulator & quad in front that has air inject balve & distrib vac

There is another tvv next to this broken one that has 2 redlines I can't trace
Its possible these are the emission ones?

Thanks
