Auxilliary Air valve ARRRGGGGHHHH

OKay, so 8Vs piss me off, for the record.

Just wanting to know if I have miossed anything. 

Problem: My auxilliary air valve will not close

What I have done so far:
New wiring to alternator which was not putting out squat (It's fine now)
New fuel pump relay
New wires/plugs to AAV and WUR (on same connector under the dash)
Connector inspected, looks minty fresh (It's just flat metal anyway)
New dedicated grounds for both devices direct to negative battery terminal
New (fused) wire from battery positive direct to terminal 30 of FPRelay
(eliminated bypass)
New red and yellow wire from FPR to connector to WUR and AAV
AAV replaced with one that closes visually when hooked up to 12V
Tested 13.2 V at plug for AAV (car running)

So, one thing I DIDN't do is check the valve when it was off by blowing
through it. Squeezing the hose into it changes the idle when hot or cold,
it must be closing some, but not all the way. I'm a bit weary of it by now,
anything else I should be doing/checking before I yank the fucker off and
throw it into Lake Erie? I've pretty well covered the whole harness to it,
right?

Thanks,
Cathy
