Default Intake plenum change over valve stuck and extremely tight.

4.2 awn with a stuck change over valve on the intake plenum. Facing the engine from the front, it's the left valve controlled by the diaphram vacuum motors. I can get it to move, but it doesn't spring back and it doesn't move easily.. Has anyone removed the intake and repaired this valve? I am assuming corrosion or rusting has siezed this. Is there any other cause.? Any guides out there to handle this problem?

Postings a few weeks back said it was non-repairable. Try archives search.

Default You might want to edit that post (or at least the title) to clear it up a bit.

Last time I checked, intake valves were controlled by the camshafts.

That's gotta have some other name like "intake manifold regulator valve" or something.
