Angarak Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 Hi all, I recently followed Geo's great tech article on How-To-Clean-Idle-Control-Valve to see if it would help with my intermittent rough idle. Having cleaned everything I thought I'd check the actuator is ok as per the Supra Tech Manuals I have. First I checked the resistance between the B1/B2 and S1/S2/S3/S4 terminals and everything is ok. I then applied battery power to the B1 & B2 terminals whilst running through the close (S1-S2-S3-S4-S1) & open (S4-S3-S2-S1-S4) sequences as per the manual. Whilst I could feel the motor move internally in my hand upon earthing an S terminal, the actuator nipple didnt move in or out at all - and Im pretty sure it should. Should the movement be noticeable? Does this sound like a knackered actuator? I've attached a pic of the actuator for reference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 (edited) Sounds like it is knackered But they only move a bit, not inches Edited March 8, 2016 by Chris Wilson (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angarak Posted March 8, 2016 Author Share Posted March 8, 2016 Cheers Chris, sadly this one doesnt move at all. That said, I have found a forum post by a soarer user who had a similar issue and he stripped his down and refurbed it without issue for less than a fiver so i may see if I can repeat his luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
