My car doesn't stop until I rev up the engine after I turn the car off.

I'm getting 22-23 directly from the vacuum pump.

I've plugged every vacuum line with golf tees except the one going to the ignition shutoff valve.

My vacuum gauge shows 12 when I turn the engine off right at the vacuum shutoff valve..

Is that enough vacuum to turn the engine off?

I wish I had another diesel benz to test this.

Thx

in my experience, yes, that is enough. i just took a similar measurement and mine shuts off.

Thanks for the quick reply.
I pulled shutoff valve from a junk yards years ago. They are pricey new.
I'm going to start the replace process now per dieselgiants directions.

Thanks again.

One thing the dgiant DIY doesn't cover is to be careful with the gasket for the injection pump top plate. Mine broke into a few pieces, but I was able to carefully put all the pieces in place and not have any leaks.
