I also noticed that you can blow air towards the valve but again, not a constant flow of air (I am not sure if I am explaining this clear or not.)
Your comments will be (as always), greatly appreciated.
PS: If the valve is indeed bad, could I install one of these on line, like this guy did it?
because the OEM valve for the '07 987 costs about $450

The valve should remain open while power is applied.
As for the valve in that article, I have no idea as I have never used one of them.
