test the actuators; the small hose ( check for a torn hose too ) coming from the split air pipe with the check valve going to the cat is the one that gives you air (air pump) that activates your actuators. take off that hose and blow some air through the pipe coming from the actuator and see if they open up. If it does then you need to make sure you're getting air flow through that check valve.

Well you already removed your intake mani and cleaned it out so I guess your sleeves would be moving ok in the ports. The only other thing I can think of would be some issues with your actuators. Both my actuators move easily by hand. Wouldn't use the hammer to make them move.
