[QUOTE="teejay, post: 71363, member: 51"] you have much to learn my young padawan....... air slide was an older version of ICV, or some might say the mechanical version, most L-jet or local models have them basically same function as ICV, just the air slide vaccum hoses opening and closing controlled by temperature from coolant hoses runing from front block to rear sometimes it needs cleaning as sludge from coolant can cause the valve to get stuck, on very bad cases, the valve is stuck open/close, rendering it not serviceable gone through 3 , so now i make it a point to clean/service it whenever i flush the radiator, last one is about 3 years old........
