I noticed that the wire from the bellows to the flaps came loose, did not break, but it is pointing up from the port through the engine tin.

Does anyone have a picture of what position the bellows wire attaches to the flap spring clamp?

I just cannot find a pic, but the wire is intact. Not sheared or frayed. Just damn came out when I finally got the car warmed up on Friday. I am still paying for getting stuck in traffic, but the car DID NOT overheat. It got to absolutely normal operating temp, but I am not sure how the flaps worked loose. I have other problems that will be fixed this weekend, but the flaps thing surprised me.

I loosened the bolt and it is ready to reinsert, but how tilted should the flaps be?

Maybe not at all? Does the bellows expand or contract when warmed up?

I think expand, but how does that work with the flaps?

Even written hints are better than what I know at this point.

Thanks!

John
