I have the VCV tee'd in with the vacuum supply and the modulator line. I still get 15" idle and 0" WOT with a gauge tee'd into the modulator line.

From what you guys are saying the 3/4 valve would do the same exact thing and would more or less only be there to prevent leak-down when the car is off.

I tried disconnecting the vacuum line to the modulator all together and I have the same exact problems, so Im going to say the modulator is poop. I read iandiam's post about how the spring can rust out in the modulator and give the symptoms I have.


Here's the link.
a bad modulator valve can cause flare in older 722.3x


Any recomendations with pulling the modulator? Tips, tricks?
