Maaaaaaaaaaan, I'm going nuckin futs!!!! I can't stand walking by my car anymore & seeing it all apart!! Waiting for a dumb-assed little secondary actuator!! Unbelievable that GM has a bunch of parts listed as new, that dont work!! The most frustrating part is that I have like an hours worth of work left to do once I get the actuators replaced!!!
Not bitching, cause Stan from Tom Henry is really helping me out......I just can't stand the waiting!!! I live in southern Colorado & we have many, many days that you can drive without snow on the ground throughout the winter....if your car is running! I know, I know ![]()

Was the actuator leaking air or just binding?
If it was just binding you could flip it over and try it. You may try to slightly bend the arm to see if that helps. What have you got to loose? With a vacum pump you can easily test it. Don't try it without installing, it's not the same. |

Are you in need of a actuator still or just waiting for it to arive?

Actually you do want to test it with out installing it, as it can kink when being drawn in. You want the arm to move seamlessly into the housing. |

The final test however, should be made while it is installed to verify non-binding operation. The reference to the memory of the rubber diaphram confirms that. I did flip mine (they were installed "upside" down) and it seemed not as smooth as originally and I could "feel" the secondaries opening. The opening vacum was low however. After couple of months it seems to have gotten smooth again confirming Jeff's memory theory. It is amazing that such a small idiotic issue could make such a difference on these incredible engines. |
