Yah, I should have tried!

I just purchased a extended warranty a few weeks ago, now I'm glad I did.

Bought a vacuum pump this morning, I have to check the actuators myself before I bring it in.

Check the IWEs to see if they hold vacuum. Then check the lines that they hold as well. If not, work your way back until you can identify were the issue is.

Good luck

ok so here's what I found.....

23 in Hg at both lines @ idle.
Both actuators are leaking so bad I can't pump them down fast enough to keep above 15 or so on them...

That being said I'm getting no symptoms except for a slight vibration.

I wonder how many other guys have bad actuator and don't even know it ?????

You have plenty of vacuum. Replace both IWEs.

I'm pretty sure mine was bad for while and I didn't realize till it finally started making noise.... I replace the driver side (used 1aautos video) and is seems to have more acceleration, and slightly better mpg.
