Yeah, shes out of town for a week, and Im only here (Im at my Dad's place in Las Vegas) through Sunday so Im trying to do as much as I can. I already did spark plugs (the old ones were wider than I could measure with a gapper!) and the downstream O2 sensor that was setting a P0037. O'Rilleys is supposed to get me the door Saturday morning, so I will probably do the tear down tomorrow (Friday) so its ready to go in as soon as I get it.

They do. I have a Dorman replacement on order. Must be pretty common problem if they are making them.

I can see/hear the actuator moving so its fine, I guess they just break.
