When things return to sanity, find an idle valve you can spare and open it up. Be sure it is one you can spare, though, as you may not trust it after reassembly.
First, use an 1/8" end mill or what have you to grind off the stakes holding the electrical end cap in place. Pull by the plug; it comes out straight back (no twisting). The cap has an O-ring seal in a groove.


Then to get at the guts, drill out the 4 dimples where the internal steel bulkhead is staked to the casting.
Possible you could use this valve in place of the 3-pin without changes to the ECU, but duty cycle vs flow might be different, and the molded hoses wouldn't fit the L configuration. I'll let this remain your pipe dream. (smile)

One evening an old Cherokee Indian told his grandson about a "battle" that goes on inside people. He said, "My son, the battle is between 2 "wolves" inside us all.
One is Evil. It is anger, envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego.
The other is Good. It is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion and faith."
The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather:
"Which wolf wins?" The old Cherokee simply replied, "The one you feed."
