[QUOTE=SD Blue;3443594]According to the FSM vacuum diagram, it may be something awry with the check valve that feeds the manifold for all of the switch-over valves or possibly a restriction of some kind.

thank you. i'll have a look at the links. in the meantime, is the checkvalve on the engine side of the firewall?

thanks again
