no engine trouble at all , i'm just asking if this needs to move at any revs.because never seen it move need to know if it is working properly if multi ram is working right :y :y :y

If you give the engine a hard blip on the throttle you should see them move.

you can rev the engine via the throtle linkage from the engine bay and watch the multi ram move if its working correctly, if not its usually a vac leak. Also another one at the back of plenum under scuttle area pass side.

Both need to work to maintain power delivery and fuel economy.

You need to be quite brutal to get the rear one to move.

Yep. Snap the throttle wide open and release as it hits 4-5k rpm or so. Don't worry. There's a rev limiter in case you do overcook it. ;)
