I e tested 4 now and after 10 min none of them close completely or at all. Either way could it be because of a bad connection? Not hot enough? I know atleast one, the newest one was tested as good and is very clean. I know they can go bad inside but I do not think they all are.
But after 10 min of car at idle its still pulling air thru, suggestions please. Phil |

The AAR uses a bimetallic strip to rotate a step-cut opening. As that opening turns past the hose connection, it gradually seals off. They stop working because of two common failures:
1. electrical failure 2. corrosion 1 is harder to fix, but 2 can often be fixed with a liberal and prolonged soaking in PB Blaster or other penetrating oil. In extreme scenarios you can pop the top connection off with a hammer and mechanically work the inner piece back and forth until it's free enough to move on its own. |
