I have an 04 RX8 Stick that has 5000 miles on my short block rebuild with a street port. I just swapped out the APV actuator and the code came back. The gear looked fine teeth and all. I turned the gear easily so I did not replace it. I am wondering if the magnet on the gear is there to operate and end / position switch? Should I have replaced that as well? I did not test the new actuator because I did not want to damage it. I did try the old one and nothing moved. There are 5 prongs on the motor 2 in one row and 3 in another row.. my guess is the 2 together are the position switch and the 3 others run the motor. The Center being common and the outer ones are clockwise and counter clockwise. WOULD I BE CORRECT IN MY ASSUMPTION?
If it is not the actuator and position switch then the only thing left would be the wiring harness. Were on the module do these wires land? If I know that then I can easily check for continuity from plug to plug. Please if you know the answers respond.
I am also getting a Code P0410 my 2004 RX8 Is de-catted but the vac pump is still there. Even if I remove the vac pump I am told I will still receive this code. I need to get rid of these check engine lights so I can sell it. I have 4 cars but no truck. What is the smart thing to check on the vacuum pump
