What exzactly is TVIS? I imagine it has something to do with the intake and valves, but what does it stand for and what does it do?

Thanks Dan for handling that one for me, I've been so busy working on home repairs this weekend, I barely had time to check the site.

Hey I know it's a bitch to get to but removing your TVIS and cleaning it in the parts washer is the only real way to clean it properly. It's also a good time to check the vacuum actuator on the system, to make sure it's working ok, and has no leaking vacuum lines. Find yourself a factory manual (BGB) and get the specs for TVIS operation and good from there. racerb  |

Sea-foam is God's gift to quick fix needs. It should definitely help. Also, isn't the TVIS system vaccum controlled? doesn't this mean compression would have something to do with it?
