Hi,

Id been researching transmission adjustments because since I swapped the vacuum valves on the valve cover of my 83 300D, the trans has flared and acted funny.

I have a turbo/vac gauge in the car, so I attached it to various spots. I was getting 21" Hg at the brake booster line, and so on.

I played arouns with a few connections, checking vac here and there, and ever since, the car will not shut off.
I replaced the rubber connections on the brown lines at the key tumbler, as well as the shutoff line (brown with blue stripe I believe) that goes onto the IP near the bleeder valve.

Still nothing.

I know when the key is 'on' there is no vaccum pulling on the IP at the brown with blue line. Using my finger I felt that there was vacuum pulling on it when the key was put to the 'off/lock' position.

Door locks work fine after i reconnected the vacuum and had the car running.

Its not a matter of stored up vacuum. the car was running for 15 minutes, everything connected, key off before I shut it off manually

What was there that I could even have broke? besides the vac lines being setup wrong, the car worked 100%

Please help!

JMH
