Manage vacuum routing to your engine's emission controls with the Standard Ignition Ported Vacuum Switch PVS150. This temperature-sensitive vacuum switch opens or closes ported vacuum passages based on engine coolant temperature, directing vacuum to components such as the EGR system as the engine warms. It's a direct-fit replacement for a wide range of listed applications, including the 1981-1996 Ford Escort, 1980-1995 Ford Mustang, 1986-1995 Ford Taurus, 1981-1996 Lincoln Town Car, and 1980-1995 Mercury Cougar — see the "Vehicles it fits" section for the full list of 41 applications.
If a failed ported vacuum switch is the cause of vacuum-related emission trouble, this replaces it. Diagnose the cause before replacing.
