Great stuff right there. The actuactor should work in your hand. The new one did when I plugged it in with the key on it went to the default position. I had to run the vehicle in order to move the actuator.
If you have the 3 screws they are a pain, but you can do it with a 1/4 inch small socket and the small rachet. When you install the actuator, just leave the 3rd screw out, I did and it works great.
When and if you have to buy a replacement actuator, it comes with a snap on attachement. This is for thos models that snap in to the top of the plenum. Just remove the attachment and all will line up. This is a motorcraft actuator though. I elected to purchase it since it was local and only about $10 more than any other national chaning and it was motorcraft.
