Yes, it's the cylinder type thing on the side of the TB. If you remove it, disconnect the solenoid from the plunger assembly and clean with carb cleaner and a brush until it moves freely. You won't be able to move the plunger with the solenoid connected BTW. It's always a good idea to get a new gasket for reassembly because the old one may or may not come off cleanly.

Plungers

Is that the same kind of plunger (it has a little arm sticking out of it)that connects the 3 hoses,one of which comes from the radiator?
