Maybe you have the hoses hooked up backwards?
The valve is just a mean for the ETS computer to throw the car into limphome mode so that you don't end up with a runaway car if something would go wrong with the system.
If the vacuum hoses are hooked up the wrong way, it could create strange scenarios.
The valve is energized at all times during normal driving allowing vacuum to throttle body and the ETS computer drops the ground to valve when it needs to go into limphome mode and redirect the vacuum inthrottle body out the third pipe (exhaust) on valve.
The other valve on the inner fender is for the turbo bypass valve. Same valve but different mounting bracket, part numbers and price.
