also they are just cast iron, so over time they rust on the sealing surface and loose their seal, giving a laggy primary operation.
if you have secondary issues and the primary works fine then its unlikely to be anything to do with the ecv itself.

Not sure about others, but it does seem quite common.

1. Locate the vac hose that goes to the top of the ECV actuator. We will call it hose "A"
2. Locate the vac hose that goes between the differential pressure sensor (located top right of engine bay behind strut tower against firewall) and the vac line at the very top of the U-shaped fitting that contains the secondary bypass valve. We will call this hose "B"
3. Get a vac line tee-peice
4. Cut the vac line "B" in a position where the cut is close to the ECV.
5. Re-join vac line "B" with the tee peice.
6. Cut vac line "A" and join the section of hose from the ECV (NOT SECTION FROM SOLENOID BOX) to the tee peice in "B".
7. Block the other half of hose "A" which goes to the solenoid box. A screw and cable tie will suffice.

Heres how to remove the ECV duty solenoid and make it mechanical instead, should fix your problem.

Hose A is line Number 5
Hose B is line Number 22
Point 7. Should be hose "A"
Will Billsy ECV pretension adjustment need to be done also
to generate pre-spool?

thats a separate adjustment to this, but when its done correctly it minimises vod, and can be used to/will widen the boost difference between primary and secondaryWill Billsy ECV pretension adjustment need to be done also
