I wouldn't call that intricate work. It was done in less than 1/2 hour and done out of necessity because it was broken. That's a great idea to make it out of metal so it will not break again. Is that just a plain tee or an orifice that I broke?

I will go through the procedure you outlined and report back. I do have a Mighty Vac. Thanks for the guidance.

(2) Tweaking the Engine/Tranny Vacuum Control System - Yep, this is why this THREAD was started by me more than 250 posts ago. For those of us on this THREAD to help ya, we need for you to go through a series of vacuum tests and report to us the results. I trust you have a vacuum hand pump/gauge... the tests include:
(a) tell us what year and model diesel you have,
(b) go to the website : http://www.peterschmid.com
(c) and then their webpage: http://www.peterschmid.com/vacuum.htm
(d) follow thru the menu structure and find the appropriate vacuum diagram for your year/model/engine car.
(e) report back to us with all of the above.
Regards,
