Any one know how to test the butterfly solenoid or the secondary, whatever you want to call it? Does it get 12volts from the ecu at 3k to open it or is it supposed to get 12 volts at idle to close it? I dontthink mine is working on my 3.4. I know if you rev it over 3k it is supposed to open. But does that work at idle or only at a load? If you have an extra solenoid too let me know. I think mine might be shot.
