The line from the key to the IP has been guided via anothe rhose up to my console and when I need to shut it down i pull vacuum with my mity vac. Vacuum doesnt seem to happen except in very small amounts,the intake is were you can get it from a gasser. I was considering teeing into the line right before the windshield wiper reservior,that has to create vacuum ,how much is the question.The car performs well just looking for a cheaper fix for now.
I agree with some of the others... this THREAD is too laid back... you should take your very real vacuum problem and make it the subject of a separate THREAD... one titled something like... Vacuum Shutdown Problem: YR/Model of car. While on the subject, also include the YR/Model in your signature, something like what I have shown a the bottom of this POST... AND don't forget to POST on this THREAD what the THREAD is that you stard
