6PI actuator crank broken. replace, repair? pic attached!
ok here's the deal. my auxiliary port valves are stuck. I spent a hew hours hosing them with WD-40 from the ouside of the motor (without taking anything apart), and turning them by "hand" (read: screwdriver and hammer )
the hammer was a bad idea, and the crank is now broken off its rod:
I wrote "rod?" because I haven't actually seen what is between the crank and the port valve itself (inside the LIM). that's my question: now that I've broken the crank off, is it possible to buy a replacement, or could it be reattached? at this point, I know that I will have to take off my intake manifolds and clean the valves properly. but once I do that, I need this crank to work or I'll be where I was before all this mess began: with no 6PI system!
thanks

Buy a lower intake manifold off EBAY such as this one http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...ayphotohosting except buy one for your year car. Then make it operable. THEN remove yours and install the new/used/operable one. Less down time and they are CHEAP. Cheaper than buying the broken parts from the dealer. Local autowreckyard will do in lieu of EBAY.

DEZERTE, I have no mods on this 1990 GXL and would prefer a working 6PI system. Stock goodness and a smooth(er) powerband are my gaols.
