Thanks.

Like I said do a search, you need to troubleshoot your vacume system to find out where its leaking and if you are even getting enough vacume from your pump. Its a lot of reading and procedures have been discussed ad nauseum.

Lot quicker than waiting for the next answer. You need a mighty-vac and read how to use it and what to look for, and where. All discussed many times.
