Simple test of the shut off valve is to replace the brown vacuum line going to it at the back of the IP between the IP and oil filter housing with a section of vacuum hose. Suck on the hose with the engine running. If the diaphragm is good, you should be able to shut it down with a couple of sucks. If it is torn, be prepared to quit sucking when the oil hits your lips.
