Whew. Got all of my idle issues under control. No more leaks!

But, having a very low turbo boost (it has gone over low yellow just a few happy times) I dug into the APC system. The APC solendoid didn't work, so I cleaned it, then it worked, then it didn't, then I cleaned again, now it's shot. Good voltage at the plug, but no more clicks. Nada. Nothing.

Any recommendations before I pry open my wallet for a new one? Can I hit it with a hammer? Am I barking up the wrong tree?

Yup. Dead. Replaced with used part. Turbo is good, but not quite to red... feels like I'm losing a little "mojo" right before red.

On the bad solenoid, I found that I could blow just a little through the R port, and feel it stop up. Replacement part is tight.
