A Strange SSV Problem

I'll just remove the UIM. Never have any problem getting it off.
Trying to help a local guy out. SSV is clanking, some power/acceleration issues. If it didn't start so easy and idle so well I'd think the engine is on the way out. Going to try a solenoid swap next which is why I asked.

The “clanking” was from the actuator arm being loose on the SSV shaft and the bad rotor seals pulsing air back into the intake was causing the SSV to flutter back & forth. Which the shaft then fluttering back and forth in the loose actuator arm was creating the metallic clanking sound. I came to the conclusion that it was probably fluttering quietly to start but over time the shaft wanting to flutter while the actuator wants to keep the arm from moving ends up causing the shaft to wallow itself loose in the actuator arm, and then it will start clanking ...
