hood louver

[jimbil208]

does anyone know how to test the hood louver for operation. I cannot find anything in the shop manual other than it operates at full throttle.

thanks,jimbil

I'm thinking it's electric, but would have to check the AIM to be certain.

thanks Mike

the problem is that it gets a grd from the ECM which operates the relay, contact put battery on the solenoid to open it. This happens at WOT.
How do you know if its working?
Thanks, Jim

Ok I have more information,can anyone answer this?

A grd from the ECM causes the relay to operate, which causes the louver to operate. The problem is that I do not know what causes the grd. If I grd it myself it operates ok. But the only way that I could think of to see if t does operate at WOT is ,I wedged a small piece of paper at the closed louver. Run the car hit WOT a few times and when I stopped and checked the paper was still there. Indicating to me that it did not operate. If anyone sees this I would appreciate some help.
Thanks, jimbil208
