Are my aux ports stocked?
I had to push hard on the rear actuator and had to push with a screwdriver on the one under the air pump to open my aux ports. But I think it should be really easy to open.

Should I clean my actuators?
Thanks

Thanks, I'll try. But what kind of lubricant should I use? I'm thinking about WD-40. What do you suggest?

hopefully you dont have to take your intake off. That sucks, but is nessisary sometimes. They should slide easy. Work em back and fourth until they are smooth

Are they connected to the little black rod still? If so thats part of the resistance. I took mine out and cleaned it all up, so now they turn really easy. Be careful not to break the little rods though.

Car is too loud, but only mild mods - why?
