I don't know if this will help, but here it is.
Mine was staying open so I just pulled and plugged the vacuum line that went to it. This thing diverts exhaust gas to the riser pad. I have never pulled one out, but something would have to be put in there to keep the exhaust gasses from getting to the riser pad. You sure wouldn't want that thing heating up in 90-degree weather.
The main point is, how would it keep the #5 cylinder from working?
