[QUOTE=Pikachu;21417609]This is a myth. Applying dielectric grease to the pins and sockets of a connector in good mechanical condition presents no problem.
you might think it is a myth, but I worked as an IT Tech for 60 years, and I have seen my share of problems caused with dielectric grease on/in connections. just don't do it.
the manufacturers plainly state, to use it to seal out moisture, not inside the connections.

I don't remember how to do it but you can jump the relays to engage/ disengage 4x4. IIRC, it doesn't matter what position the esof switch is in. This could tell you what direction the problem is in. it's very possible you just need a new actuator, IDK. it could be a number of issues.

We can agree to disagree on this.
I had a smooth steady idle.
Used dielectric on the CPS, IPR, ICP, EOT, and so on, idle was rough and hunting.
Cleaned the dielectric off the contact points and used conductive grease. It has NEVER idled this smooth.
To the OP… sorry for the thread hijack.
