Here's what Townsend Imports' page says about the valve:
"92 and newer cars may have a problem with the bypass valve located in the heater hoses in the engine compartment, above the alternator. This valve can block flow to the heater core or develop leaks. It is there to prevent loss of cabin heat at idle, something we do not see a need for if the rest of the cooling system is up to par... When we see a problem with this bypass valve, we simply remove it from the car. You can splice in connectors in its place or better yet replace the heater hoses and it with heater hoses from a earlier car without the valve."
Below is a link to the site and the page this info came from. Hope this helps!
