Thermo-valve for fuel vapor purging (red, 50deg C).

This valve, which is closed below 50deg C, transmits vacuum at all throttle positions above idle to the purge valve which allows fuel vapors which have been gathered in the charcoal canister to be pulled with air into the intake for burning. The thermo valve is a temperature controlled on/off switch to the purge vacuum control signal.
