2001 ec300 power valve free play

[krazy]

Hi,

Per the video the actuator stays open if i slowly move the plate, but if i move it sharply and let go it does snap shut. Is that normal behaviour?

Would i use the right screw near my finger to adjust the arm up further?

I also want it to open sooner in general, so which of the shims should i remove, closest to engine or furthest? I am assuming the bushing things on either side of the pin are the shims.

I believe I used the allen key pointing towards the camera to adjust mine. Needs to be shut firmly otherwise the valve will flutter.
