question about 5th and 6th ports
what controlls the 5th and 6th ports? i know its backpressure off the exhaust but how exactly does it work? and how do you keep the ports functioning after getting header put in place with no cats.

86-88 exaust backpressure.
89-92 air pump and acv activated.
from both those sources of pressure, pressure goes to the brown and white solonids. when activated, the pressure is then routed to 6 port actuater diaphrams, and viola. they open.

Only the Series 5 has solenoids that control the 6-port actuators. On the series 4, the exhaust backpressure goes directly to the 6-port actuators.

It doesn't sound like slang, it just sounds like you don't know what you're talking about.

Look dude you understude what I said. I don't care if it is not in the FSM. Just about everyone calles them that here. Who gives a **** anyways this guy does not need you screwing up his thread with useless garbage.
To the thread started: Auxilary ports and 5th and 6th ports are the same thing. We call them 5th and 6th here because the N/a engines have 6 ports the 5th and 6th are just that the fith and sixth ports on a six port engine. We are using logic.

Oh and did you notice he used that term and not "auxilary" I think using his terms will make it easier for him to understand an explenation. You don't have to be DICK about it.
Woah!!!
Bad attitude man!
Aux-ports, 6-ports, 5th and 6th ports...Whatever.
Its all the same thing. Same as stabilizer bars, sway bars, and ANTI-sway bars.
Sheesh, you people need a standing prescription to some valium...

Notice how some of the younger members resort to flaming when they get upset? Anyway...
The auxillary ports are not evil, they are your friends, and the reason why 6-port NA engines make a lot more power than earlier 4-port ones.
The actuators require very little pressure to operate (2.1psi to fully open), and if the sleeves can turn freely in the housings then a free-flowing exhaust should be fine. Those that have problems with the ports not opening once the ehaust is freed up usually have sticking actuators or sleeves.
Download the NA EFI chapter of the factory service manual from www.fc3s.org to learn how to diagnose and fix this system. Look in the contents under "Auxilary ports".

Wouldn't the aux ports take longer to open w/ free exhaust? Backpressure would build up sooner w. an obstuction there like a cat. I think the biggest problem is that they do not open when the time is optimal, even though enough back pressure may be created with a free flowing exhaust.
