Default Re: Secondary Port Throttle Actuator vacuum leak

Took apart the Secondary Actuator to see if my suspicion was correct and it was. The internal spring was not centered causing some binding. the point where the smaller end of the spring that meets the center point of the base was not opened up enought to fully seat around the base point.

I opened the spring up just a bit to see what would happen and the spring stays where it should be, centered.

I'm going to attempt to put this one back together to see if the condition improves. I have nothing to loose given two are on the way.

Base of the spring too small (before modifing the spring)




Spring not centered. This is how the spring was situated when I pulled actuator apart.




This is with the spring opened up a bit more so it could fully seat around the base and stay centered.
