hmm....I'm thinking mine might be stuck closed as well. At first I thought it was all this humidity around here lately that was making the car drag, but when I drive my car I used to be able to tell distinctively when the secondaries used to open. You couls even tell just by looking at the tach...you get a little kick in the pants. Lately, there's been no kick at 3500. Sometimes it happens softly at like 3800 to 4000 rpm, sometimes not at all. The car doesn't seem noticeably slower, it still pulls hard at higer rpms...I dunno, I'll have to take a look and see if this "rod" is moving or not....
