Gotta be. I manipulated the ACC buttons some more and the engine turns off now

I pulled the pass. under-dash stuff and the glove box liner and didn't see anything obvious.

The big "recirc" pot isn't leaking and appears to function when the buttons are pressed. I did see 2 lines behind the glove box (one black, one white) which weren't capped or anything. Just open ends...They don't look like they were EVER hooked to anything. I didn't see any other hoses that were unhooked or any cracked rubber etc.

I also checked the 2 "bundles" under the hood as well. The one by the ACC servo and the one near the brake booster. Nothing obvious...



I pulled the amp and found several cold joints that appear to be making poor contact if any. You can see them in the pic

I need to find the vacuum leak but I'm pretty lost No need fixing the amp until I've straightened the leak out.

I guess the next step is pulling the ACC control panel and looking back there.
