So, I decided to test out my AAR. It heats up and actuates bu when fully hot i can still blow a little air through it.

Is that normal, or should it really shut tight?

I am a bit confused. My 1.8 has a hard time idling when cold. I took the AAR out and and bench tested it. I cleaned it out and it seems to be good and free. I checked the resistance and it is right on spec at 30 ohms. I also hooked it up to 12 volts and it fully closed in about 1.5 minutes. I can see no light through the tube in its fully closed position.

Now the issue. When it is cold it looks to be only partially opened. No where near fully open. I read there are three positions. Fully closed, half closed, and fully open. I would say mine is about half open when cold. I have no rattles and it seems nice and free.

Suggestions? any one have one out that can take a look through the tube what it looks like?

I am tempted to order a new one.

Thanks
