Well you knew I'd have some problems didn't you?

While messing with my new mity vac near the firewall and under drivers seat i seem to have found a couple of bad connections. I was doing this to fix an engine that wouldn't shut off.

Strange thing was pushing and holding stop lever would not shut it off either. I had to plug one of the lines with a tee. Now it is shutting off great and all doors are locking. According to procedure in Haynes manual for testing vaccum pump, mine is bad. Pulling throttle had no effect on mity vac gauge.

Why would stop lever not work?? What is alternate emergency way of shutting of the engine? Breather tube??? Where is it?

Thanks ... I'll have some more for you all soon. I just wanted to get this one that could be a problem if I had to leave the car running to go to work...LOL

I love the car...Feels solid! The car has some pickup too. Vaccum problems and ac problems first on my list....vaccum first.

Thanks again...Aloha
