I then tested the VCV by itself and it would not hold vacuum. So, I guess I'll have to order a new VCV sometime in the future.
I dont know which vacuum system you have but i have whats known as "California 85" the most complex one. Boy, you get one vacuum leak and everything goes astray, the doors wont lock and sometimes the car wont shut off.

Hope you can go to a Salvage yard and find a vacuum control valve. i would send you one free if I had one...or post a message asking for one. Boy the dealer is expensive!!!
