[T3] Automatic AAR possibly stuck


I've got this sneaking suspicion that my fast idle wasn't that the AAR
was too cold but that the AAR is stuck open. When I ran the engine most
recently, I plugged up the AAR except for a tiny opening, and the idle
slowed down but the car did not seem to want to stall. Before, when I
ran the car for 20 minutes, there was no change in idle speed due to the
AAR closing, and there was still a very strong vacuum in the AAR hose.

I put an ohmmeter to it, I got a reading of 14 ohms between the wire and
the body of the device. There's other tests I'd like to perform, such as
applying 12V to it on a bench and seeing if the rotary valve turns.

Since I have an automatic, it doesn't seem like I can realistically open
this one up and see if I can free it inside. Thoughts?
