1. On the driver's floor (under the plastic) take the vacuum lines apart (pull the hard plastic from the black rubber). T them off (in other words, close them off right there). Putting a golf tee in the rubber connectors is the easiest way.

My hunch is that this will restore your car to shutting off on its own and thereby prove your problem to be in the door locks, fuel lock or truck lock.

This simple procedure takes about one minute with no dis-assembly required.

Let us know what happens next.
Doesnt no vaccume from the supply line mean a bad pump/torn diaframe?
It DID shutoff before (allbeiet slowly sometimes, few sec after key turned/removed), and the ac did partially work... Now nothing...

Then again, I did see alot of lines comming off of the supply, so your probaolly right. I dont have a golf tee, but I might beable to snag a few tonight at the party (leaving in 5 or so min...)

Thanks alot

*EDIT*Would checking the uninteroupeted line between the pump and the larger line tell me what condition my vacuume pump is in???*EDIT*
