Hello. I'm sure it's an easy fix...

Just had my motor and transmission mounts replaced. When I got home, I shut turned the key to shutdown the engine and it kept running. Also noticed that my doors locked are no longer working as well.

I shut the engine down manually and did quick visual inspection to see which vacuum line it could be. I didn't see any of them disconnected.

Is there a vacuum line that maybe is prone to disconnect from lifting the engine up a few inches?

When they jacked up the motor, a hard plastic vacuum line probably broke or came loose

Are there any vacuum lines on the bottom of the engine? I only visually expected the ones on the top. Will go out right now and check again.

fix one problem and another one pops up. Story of my life!

Carefully inspect all vacuum lines up top, there is only 1 black vacuum line running down to the tranny.

Did it seem to shift okay on the way home? Either way it's worth checking the line to the vacuum modulator, which is located on the transmission. That would be an easy one for them to break or dislodge since they'd be working fairly close to it at times.

Personally I'd just take it back to the shop and let them unravel it. No reason for you to get dirty and bother with it.

Also check the rubber connectors, they can get brittle and crack and can be hard to see.

FOUND IT! It was the yellow vacuum line that comes from the 3 way connector close to the firewall. I'm sure it has a name but I can't remember.

Probably silly that I started this thread but I much rather have you guys yell at me then my girlfriend.

Thanks for all the QUICK responses!
