mileage 297,000 manual trans. The other day my son and I replaced a corroded thermal valve, noting the direction of the valve. The car ran fine before the installation of the valve except for the coolant leak. When we started up the car it ran fine with the choke working as it should. There were no coolant leaks so we took it out for a test drive and when we returned the car's idle was at 2000k and would not come down. We checked and all vacuum lines were attached and the choke appeared open. Could it be we purchased a defective thermal valve?
