That wasn't the point of MM's PM to you. Check the electrical connector orientation on the back of the intake manifold. The order is blue (sec. air), white (ssv), black (VDI), (top to bottom).

Never got a PM from him...probably because I mentioned the jacuzzi picture exists...

But yea...I just finished manually checking the valves...

Just sprayed some engine cleaner back there...see if I can ID the plugs...

Thanks for the order! Just saved me some search time...brb...

oh boy, I'm getting flashbacks of that scene in Armageddon where they just start ripping extra parts off the Armadillo.

P.S. you need better lighting in your garage
