AAC Power Draw

AAC Power Draw
Hey guys, it seems I have a power draw that drains by battery over a couple days. The parasitic draw measures about 0.7 amps. I’ve checked all the circuits, and I’ve found the issue to be the AAC valve (auxiliary air control, as Nissan calls it). When I unplug it, the car doesn’t run any different, it’s still just a tiny bit rough when it’s cold, but I’m not too concerned about it for now, and it’s perfectly fine other than that, it even idles smooth. Parasitic draw comes to about 0.02 amps with the AAC disconnected, which I think should be about normal (unless someone else has a different number?). Does anyone know how to test these things, or has anyone had a similar problem? The FSM just says that “continuity should exist,” but I was hoping for a resistance value or something. Additionally, is leaving it unplugged hurting anything? I’ve poked around on a couple forums, but no one seems to have had a similar problem, and if anyone has, I haven’t found any documentation of it. I want it to work if I can fix it, and I don’t want it to kill my battery. Any and all help is greatly appreciated, thanks in advance. Car is an all original, bone stock ‘84 Turbo, if that helps.
