Title says it all here... Can 12V be supplied to the secondary valve solenoid, such that leak detection can be found with starting fluid, and RPM's bumped up to steady level?


or to the solenoid FEED, since the solenoid is under the plenum?

Secondary Port Control Solenoid

This solenoid is used by the ECM to control the application of vacuum to the secondary port throttle valve actuators. The solenoid is normally closed and is opened ("ON") when the ECM provides the ground path. The solenoid is located under the intake plenum at the front of the cylinder block valley, near the left hand side of the vacuum reservoir. The sensor is connected to the engine wiring harness by a two terminal blue connector. (Refer to Figure 2-15)."

Is this a 12V ground, that can be temporarily jumped?
