your right. its on the right side and there is a power connection going to it. contrary to popular belief the valve NEEDS power in order to close.
the engine heat IS NOT enough. i know this because i just went through 5 new valves thinking they were faulty and all that was wrong was a DIRTY connection. it was mind boggling because i thought that the engine heat would be emough to close it.

if i were you id take it off and inspect it. most likely you'll find that yours is stuck shut, at least that what it sounds like. if thats the case you can either drill out the rivets abd take a look inside or just buy a new one.
its easy to R&R
