look at the pic. do you see a maroon color piece on the top left hand side? right below it is the black sphere looking thing with a blue paint mark on top of it. thats what i am talking about

The solenoid is cracked as in 2 piece stead of that one piece? Or do you mean the lil bar underneath moving up and down when you rev the engine?

the selenoid? thats what its called? if so, yes, the top part is up. when i cut the car on i can cpush on it and the thing sucks it on. i guess its a vacuum. is it suppose to do that or is it suppose to stay closed?

It should not do that. Just the rod in the bottom should mive in and out. Yours is busted.

where can i get a new one or what can i use to fix it.

replace it.. temporary fix maybe to take it off and silicone or other hi strength glue the snot out of the 2 pieces together till you get a new one.. that maybe why you feel laggin

that might be...thanx!

hang in there steve i know its hard to descirbe something and people dont understande you

I'd like to step forward and say I've used "Thingy" to describe something before...but man...sphere thingy really had me lost in the beginning. I didn't see anything spherish..

thats why i had the pic posted and tried to find something that was near it so you all could see what i was talking about.
