ITB’s potentially stuck

[Cheekrs]

Reviving a dead thread here because I cannot find answers else where. I cannot open any of my itbs.. I have disconnected the rod from the Actuator and cannot move the itbs at all. Does anyone have any idea what I should try here? I have cleaned them, grease up the throttle rod itself, and tried to get movement but it’s completely locked up. I have all of the exact same symptoms as described in this post.

TIA

I removed the linkage and attempted to move the ITBs with no luck. Where the linkage connects on the ITB, I used a rubber mallet to force and boy was that thing barely moving. I Kept repeating this till it move freely. At the same time I was adding lubricant where I thought it needed and it now moves freely by hand. I will now focus on the actuator it self and the gas pedal to see which one is the culprit. Getting my cable tomorrow so that I can use the INPA on my computer. I will keep you guys posted. Thank you so far

any updates? 😎
