I have bought a used intake manifold from 07' x5, and i want to make sure the adjuster units work properly before i put everything back.
Thanks,

- Find out which adjuster connected to which cable that's attached to stock manifold ( there is an image here somewhere). May not be too important to get the correct one.
- Plug in adjuster to the cable attached to the stock manifold. Have the friend hold it in the air as as you start the car.
- The working adjuster should close at IDLE and open seconds after car is shut down
Woo-hoo for another Canadian on the 3 Stage list |
If you have a coding cable, you can also trigger the adjusters to open and close as well, without having to take anything apart. Every few months I do this to make sure everything is working properly. You hear a noticeable click when you activate it through INPA.
