I finally got one open (rear) port, I took off the little thing that pushes the port closed and sat there for ten minutes turning the little knobby back and forth until it went down to the six oclock position w/ ease, the other one though, moves only about a cm, what can I do to save time w/out pulling apart ****? Is it carbon that makes that got them stuck?? Maybe use some carbon disolver stuff? HELP? ME? PLEASE? MOO?

Why don't you want to take off the LIM?

taking the LIM requires what? I dont want to have to labor too much, aka take off upper intake manifold and all its parts, etc.

Oh yeah, and where did you spray the liquid wrench?

Remove the 2 screws that hold the plate that retians the rod that goes into the intake. There is a small seal in there about the size of a nickle. slide that back that and then spray carb cleaner on the rod. Work it back and forth. Eventually you could even remove it from the intake all together but there will be too much carbon at first. Dont' get the carb cleaner on the seal as it will soften the rubber.

I did this with the LIM off but I see no reason it couldn't be done with it on the car. Be ware the 2 screws that hold the retainer plate on are next to impossible to get out.
