Hey ive manage to snap the temp controller vaccum switch off the thermostat housing on my 2000 civic during installation of a turbo kit when removing some lines, however it doesnt seem to be needed now from what i can see since the car is boosted. Anyone happen to know where to get a good plug for this thing??? ive tried using a brass npt plug that appears to be the right size but it still seeps coolant.

I would use the original broken part but i dont have it anymore as i foolishly threw it away in a garage cleanout session....

Anyone know where to get one of these thermostatically controlled vaccum switches or know the correct name for it?

 

Just go to a pick-n-pull and grab a replacement. What city do you live in?

 

You must be talking about the FIA control valve:

 

exactly, FIAV... thats the one

Anyone happen to know where to get one cheap or if they have a broken one they can send me? ill pay shipping and all... just need to keep it from leaking coolant...

What do you boosted guys do with this anyhow? just block it off?

 

Try junk yards.

 

Im out in austin,tx. unfortunately dont have the time to really goto the junkyard.

 

It costs $75 at the Majestic Honda website, not including shipping and handling.

It costs $105 to pick it up at your local Honda dealer.

I know there's one junk yard just south of Austin. It would benefit you to look for the valve there.
