  • The brown line with the blue stripe does not have vac when the key is in either the on or off position (presumably it would only have vac when the key is in the off position, to actuate the shut off valve)
So if this all seems right, the problem seems to be that upon moving the key to the off position, the vac delivered by the brown line is not being transferred to the brown/blue stripe line, and hence the car is not shutting off. If the vac cutoff cylinder is gummed with engine oil, how do I clear? Is that the likely culprit? Could a check valve be clogged? I replaced the ignition cylinder last year (not easy to get at). Not again.
This link may help. I think it could be the mechanical ignition shut-off.
