It is on top of the engine in front of the air cleaner housing, near the themostat housing. Check the BUY PARTS in this forum for a picture. There is info about the valve using the search funtion in this forum.

You can test it by unplugging the wires to it and putting a fresh 9v battery to the terminals. It should go clunk when you do that. Be sure to inspect the hoses while you're in there.
