also make sure you are running with all four cylinders, they are known to run on 3 from time to time.

iv checked all the hoses and thay seem fine. but with the actuator what can go wrong with it there is only a spring seal and a rod. i have felt the the tenshion on the rod and i isn't alot compaired to the 31 that i havent fitted yet. can somone explain how the actuator can fail. do they get jamed open? it was a month or two since i felt the presser on the one on the car so i will check and see if it's damaged
