I can't find a picture, but look for an actuator on the intake, that has both electrical and vacuum connectors on it, disconnect it and remove it, the carfully try to move the lever by hand. be carful, the return springs are strong! Problem is either the plates are stuck open, or maybe a bad actuator, disconnect the neg batt cable to do this...
