6pi making no sense

alright. Before I put my header on, I had my 6 ports working wonderfully. I had them hooked up through the air pump and a split air dump tube. when In the process of putting the header on, i had to remove the actuators and accidently knocked off one of my lines that i was using.

I hooked up my system EXACTLY how I had it before, and now my actuators arent moving at all. I know theya rent seized because I can move them by hand. is there a simple way to get them to open that I can do quick? Im heading down to the dragstrip in a few hours and want my ports to be workign correctly.

This is an s4

bad gasket possibly. get a hand pump with some vacuum hose to test them, and see if air is leaking out.

well, it doesnt really matter now. My genius self was in such a hurry (it was getting dark) to finish up my exhaust work. I forgot that the actuators were 1 way only. I put them o the wrong sides. Just finished switching them. work fine now.

Thanks for the input.
