This is all brand new to me, but I somehow just fixed a long shut off on my new diesel.

You need to purchase a vaccum pump like a mityvac. I got mine from sears for less than 30 dollars.

Just plug the tubing from the mityvac into different connectors. It should keep the pressure on the mityvac, if it doesn't then it is cracked or leaking somehow.

I replaced one of my connectors that wasn't holding a vaccum with a connector that came with the mityvac. The car shuts off in less than a second now. I still have some vaccum problems....I have a golf tee in one connector and a loose line that is supposed to go into it. I need some more connectors as mine seem pretty brittle.

You might just go in there, poke around, and see what you find. Loose lines, brittle conectors, etc.

I also poked around under drivers seat....I think thats the places...1. by firewall 2. under drivers side 3. in doors

please let me know if I'm way off base with any of this guys.
