Help or comments appreciated!
Here is the story,
The front rotor auxillary port actuator was not functioning. In my efforts to free it I removed the shaft that travels through the intake manifold and turns the port sleeve. After fixing the pneumatic actuator (exhaust particles had plugged the hole) I returned to assembling everything and realized I was not careful in remembering the position of the arm relative to the intake manifold. Now I am not sure if the arm is properly located in the sleeve or if it is 180deg out.

Question: Is there a way to be absolutely sure of the actuator position without removing the intake manifold and doing a visual?

I am thinking maybe a person could route an air line in the car and have a person pressurize them with low air pressure while driving to feel the effect. Maybe block the one I know is correct so I isolate the one in question.

Any thoughts?
Thanks
Chris

nope wont work, you can barly notice a difference if any while driving if only one is messed up, you would have to take it back apart and wile it is out you push the actuator in and see wich way it rotates the sleeve the opening i the sleve while open should point to the inside or center of the block if it points to the outer plate is wrong and you got to fix it.

Forgot to mention, engine is as stock GSL-SE.

no youll have to remove the manifold. Is your exhaust stock and did u retain the vacuum line from the cat to open the ports. Some ppl have run vacuum tubing from the manifold to the actuators' vacuum line.
