6th PORT ACTUATOR FIXED, DIFFERENT EXHAUST ODOR ?

Ok., dog has un-stuck actuator on 6th port, and after taking for a test drive, definetly runs "better", not a lot, but noticed change in exhaust odor. Not like gas, almost like a clutch smell. Any ideas? PEACE RUF RUF RUF RUF

a clutch smell? smells arent really a problem. its whats visible.

unless it smells like your washingyour car with gasoline, this would be rather bad.

Sorry folks, dog bad. Look carefully under hood and forgot to plug O-2 sensor back in. Might explain different odor. Put me outside and tie me to the tree. Bad dog , Bad dog. Ignore this post. PEACE RUF RUF RUF RUF RUF

Now, my posts get sensored for being witty, whats up with this response? Hey Viper, get back to your flock of sheep and post something I've never, ever, ever, heard. And "dude " has the implication that you like the male ones. A *** with a snake, nice name. And by the way, " short " answers " seem to be your specialty. Tell your flock goodnight! PEACE

How did you un-stick the actuator? Lots of chemicals? If so, could just be that burning off.

I took the advice of some experienced RX owners/informants, and took the SOB off, a little lube and a swift shock with a 2 by 4 and whammo, freed up. A little more lube and she is free and functioning like a champ. PEACE RUF RUF RUF RUF RUF
