SSV parts

I have a 4k hesitation that I've been told is likely the SSV actuator or the actuator's solenoid. Does anyone know the part number for those two?
Thanks!

Why do you think it is that? Do you have a CEL for it? What are the symptoms?

Perfect, thanks!
Edit: Actually, don't see the actuator on here, just the solenoids.

It could be any number of things, so don't go buying parts without doing the proper testing first.

BTW, if someone wings hard on the throttle i.e. WOT bursts in neutral, you can watch the SSV valve actuate in the engine bay(or not if there is a failure)

Right now there is a hesitation as I go through ~4200rpm, very brief loss of power, then it feels normal again. Ray from BHR, who rebuilt my engine, said it is likely SSV actuator or solenoid... also heard that from one other guy.
Note that it was doing this before and after the rebuild.

Find a service manual and test the items properly.

a failed SSV is more than a hesitation, but have fun

Right, I think it is just sticking or flaky.
