Trace this pipe back to where it joins other pipes, and follow them all looking for leaks, cracked hoses, or hoses fallen off. When mine wouldn't shut down it turned out to be a connecting hose 2 inches long which had a crack in it, located at the far left front of the under hood area.

I also had a blockage in the main pipe where the small pipe connects up.

If there are no loose pipes or cracked hoses or blockages try the mityvac on the shutoff valve. If it won't kill the engine you need to replace the valve.
Looks like the problem will be a leak or the ignition switch the shut off valve kills the engine with the vacuum from the mityvac, now it's dark so I will look for leaks tomorrow.
Thank you
