Air/Vacuum Solenoid Mix Up

So I traced my hesitation problem to the solenoid of the ssv being bad. I do not have a cat and plan on removing the air pump etc... So I was just going to remove the air pumps solenoid and the ssv solenoid and swap them around. In the process of removing them both I managed to mix them up and don't know which one came from which spot (ssv or air pump) They each have a different set of numbers on the tab of them,

one has the numbers

K5T49091
KL01
4304

and the other one has the numbers

K5T49091
KL01
3818

Can anyone confirm which solenoid came from which position? I have been searching it but cant really find anything that puts them in the correct order. Anyone have their vacuum box laying around with these still in the correct order or know the correct order? Any help is appreciated.

AFAIK they are identical in function and I have swapped them in my own 8 and in others without issue. But let me check.

The parts index shows this

ENGINE / ENGINE / ENGINE PARTS / Valve
Part Number: KL0118741

valve 2004-08
PARTS: Part included with filler assembly.

It appears all three valves ship with the filler assembly.

I did as this guy here, https://www.rx8club.com/series-i-do-...lenoid-190364/ described and they both clicked and had air coming out of the other end when power is to it so I guess they are both good...must have a power connection problem somewhere or a bad vacuum hose coming off of it. I did find a crack in the air pumps vacuum line.

Hooked up a obd2 scanner for ***** and giggles. Didn't have a cel but did have 5 codes. 3 for o2 sensor because I have a gutted cat and 1 for the ssv solenoid and 1 for a small vacuum leak. More info on this in my build thread.
