The wave routine in the picture was peaking and troughing as the throttle was being blipped. If I held the revs stationary the commanded position went to a flat line as per the end of the graphs. It did the same but at a different position if I let it idle. 2002 4.6 Vogue SE - Alveston Red with Lightstone Leather

Ah right - this is actual values not the ECM's interpretation. You can see the 'unstick' activity.
Green is the (processed from a PWM feedback signal) vane position and red is the actuator motor current this is during the shut down cycling of the vanes. I'm not sure if your diagnostics can output the actual position vs. commanded position and actuator current. |

Well there's two separate fresh and charge air paths but they both end up being shared across the plenum,

Pleased to report I managed to find the passengers side actuator. You need to look through this oval hole:
There’s 2 foil lined pipes that you need to peer behind and you can see the actuator. I used a piece of welding rod that I’d bent to a hook and pulled and pushed the actuator after soaking it in penetrating oil. After I’d moved it up and down a few times it seemed nice and free. I then got my Dad to sit in it and cycle the ignition a couple of times on and off and both actuators were moving nice and freely. I then fired up the IID tool and mapped the commanded position versus the actual position and started the car. The commanded and actual lines for both banks were all even and were moving in sync with each other. The car sounded totally different and when giving it some revs you could hear it building boost. Sounds much better tonight ![]() Just a few other odds n sods to sort out and this car will be fighting fit again now.

Fresh oil, heat and use are the best reconditioners for engines, I've seen a few rebuilt engines from various 'classic' (i.e. old and mostly unloved) cars rebuilt at great expense, then parked up and ignored for 11.5 months, then suddenly expected to perform like a daily workhorse, with predictable results.
