I've read about cold running issues on \6s that had aftermarket exhaust manifolds with no ability to heat the intake manifold with the exhaust.
My manifold heat control valve is frozen in the position shown in the pic below. I've soaked it in penetration oil for a couple weeks with no change. What's a rookie to do? Soak the whole thing in vinegar and check it once a day until it's free? Smack it with a BFH to knock it out? Let it ride where it is?
