Auxiliary port actuator stuck half way... pics and video

This first picture is the aux port actuator for rotor #2, notice the oxygen censor. This actuator is in great working condition as you will in the video.

This aux port actuator is for rotor #1 and it appears to be stuck half way up. I tried applying compressed air to it as I did in the video for the other one and I saw it move upwards but very slowly, it is definitely being restricted by something (grim, grease, dirt etc.) and will not move. I haven't driven my car for a while and can't do so until I get new exhaust (cat-back section). Is it possible it will correct itself once I drive the car and spend lots of time above 3800 rpm and redline it a few times?

This is a video I made showing the better of the two actuators, I think this one is in good working condition, ignore the VDI for this thread...

This picture of the aux port actuator for rotor #1 was taken a long time ago, this is the actuator in it's complete lowered position. Compare it to the other picture in the thread's first post, that picture is of today and shows an actuator which is neither lowered all the way or raised all the way
