New IM and still have an immediate CEL for intake manifold flaps...very aggravated.

[Blue AWD]

Swapped out an entire good working manifold, sensors and all. This all started with a carbon cleaning and I may have messed up one of the flap sensor connectors up. The one in the front I can wiggle around. I want to get a new connecting clip but I was wondering if this would also throw an EPC light or not always?

anyone know a good place to source a 3 pin connector? Audi or somewhere online? Thanks.

Check all the vacuum lines.

I mity vac tested the vacuum lines that come up the front of the manifold. No leaks. Like I said I feel like it's electrical since the CEL pops up every time right after I reset the light on the 2nd start up, even if it was running for 10 seconds.

Have you scanned with VCDS?

See if you can read groups 142 and 144 in VCDS while driving the car. Closed position when idle should read 0% and open position above 3500 rpm or whatever should rear 99.6%.
