Go to the passenger side, right behind the air filter is the airpump. Look behind that and down a little bit on the side of the engine. You'll see a rod going into a plunger-lookin' thing. To the right of that, on the engine block next to the airpump (when your in front of the car facing toward the back), is the other plunger lookin' thing. Those are your actuators.

They 6-port actuators are on the passenger side of the engine compartment. There are 2 of them, the 5th, and 6-th port actuator. They look similar to the VDI actuator. Look first for the BAC. It is the aluminum cylinder deal, that lays horizonatally with two coolant hoses coming out of either side of it. Under that is the ACV, to the left and right side of the ACV are your 5-th and 6-port actuators.

hmmmmmmmmmmm.........

On 86-88's they are right above the exhaust manifold, 2 little round looking things with a bunch of little working **** at the top of them. And between the actuators is another large box like contraption, thats the air control valve. You shouldnt have any prob, but from what I remember you have a 91.
