Ok, here's why I think I need to have my vacuum pump rebuilt was that my mechanic said I did. My car would not shut off, so, he said he disconnected the vacuum line to the break booster and he said that he didn't hear any "hissing". Now, from everything that I've read you would have to use a vacuum gauge to be able to see if there is vacuum. So, now I have a delimma. Should I try and get a "kit" and rebuild it, buy a new one, or get a vacuum guage and test it? Having looked at the thread that stretch posted it appears to be extensive. Any advice?

Thanks

Charlie
