The vacuum master valve in the driver side door has an adjustment range. It sounds like yours is badly set. To adjust it just takes a phillips screwdriver (after you've removed the inside door panel). The manual has the adjustment for each type.

And, if you're going that far, it wouldn't be a horrible idea to just replace it. The o-rings inside of it start to leak slowly and that makes your central locking stop working. Before I replaced mine, my central locks stopped working after a couple of hours. Once I'd replaced and adjusted it, my central locks now work for over a week after I've parked it. The part only costs about $25, IIRC.
