Okay so I ran your test and put a line straight from the vacuum pump to the shut-off actuator and the STOP lever went down as far as it had before and the car did not shut off (very close but not enough to make the engine really even sound as if it was trying to shut off).

By what I am reading if I am reading correctly you say that it is my shut-off actuator that needs replacing is that right?

Thanks again!

Frank

EDIT: I don't know if this will bring up the right page but I went to *************** and found there are a few replacements

Link: which one is it? =)
- Mine looks like the last one on the list, or at least the top part does.
