What should a vacuum pump check valve look like
ok maybe a stupid question, but i've tracked down a vacuum problem to either the pump or check valve.
i have an 81 300D with the newer style, single outlet pump. i pulled the valve and hose off today, the hose is fine. the valve though, i'm guessing it should have some kind of internal structure? mine is right now, basically just an empty fitting. my symptoms are 5-10" of vac at cold idle, once the motor has been running for about 20 minutes, full 24" vac. it's causing the trans to shift like garbage for the first 20 minutes of driving. would a bad valve cause this or should i just look into getting a pump. also since this is the newer style pump i'm also assuming i dont need to worry about it self destructing into the timing chain right? |
Trace your Main Vacuum Line to the Vacuum Pump, The Check Valve is the Fitting the screws into the Vacuum Pump Body and the metal Tubing of the Main Vacuum Line screws onto the Check Valve.

ok with some more focused searches on here i've learned the valve pieces are too large to actually fall completely into the pump, so im not worried about that. but i wonder if this failed valve is still the cause for low vac when cold, but full vac when warm. gotta replace it anyway i guess.

You need a Good Check Valve to hold the proper Vacuum. I had a Vacuum Issue and removed my Check Valve and sprayed it out with WD-40 and put it back on and it worked fine after that. And, yes my check valve was not hollow.
The Check Valve is slightly expensive. I do not see why one from a Junk Yard would not work if you take a look and see if the parts are inside and still good. |

I have a pdf laying around, this page should be of help.

The pdf is a generic diagnosis, yet the instructions should tell you if the valve is operating.

2. If the "guts" of the check valve are missing, no further diagnosis is required. The check valve cannot possibly operate. |
