Thanks Shertex! I was looking for confirmation that I diagnosed it correctly. Yes, when I apply vacuum directly to the shut off valve it won't stop.

Thanks for the link as well. That one didn't...

Sixto,

Dave/gsxr suggested that 0 boost at constant speed might be normal (http://www.peachparts.com/shopforum/3020993-post400.html). I asked originally because if I run vacuum straight to the...

That is what I thought. I am just wondering why you would choose to run boost while at cruise speed and if there was any validity to the claim that boost increased the economy on a cummiins.

I hooked up a vac/boost gauge into the ALDA line. Initial testing was giving me zero boost and perhaps about -2 mm Hg at cruise (~40 mph). Then I fixed the code 11 that the EDS was throwing, due to a...

Thanks Sixto!

Finally got to it this weekend. Bringing the idle down to 700 (finally found the right pages of the SM) eliminated the code 11 that the EDS was throwing. Which in turn allowed the...

Idle adjust on 602

Hi Everyone,

My '92 602 idles at about 1k RPM. My understanding is that normal idle speed is ~750 RPM. I have done a search to see how to adjust the idle but that has been fruitless. Since the EDS...

Thanks for the idea. Didn't know if I could get away with just sticking a screw in there. Now to find some fuel line, I am sure I can at least get some small engine fuel line for a short term fix.

I believe he means that the anti-freeze reduces the hydrogen bonding between water molecules, which actually does reduce their size.

Generally the high boiling point of water and its high heat...

I didn't realize removing the vacuum pump would have given me more play on the chain. Live and learn I guess.

Thanks JT. That is what I was thinking, at least about the lack of a seal. Now I have to figure out if I trust them to put it back together.

Additional Thoughts

My thought was that the collapsed radiator hose caused excessive pressure and heat in the engine which caused the head gasket to fail.

In this case I need to figure out what caused the cooling...
