Hello, all. Newly registered member though I've been lurking for sometime, reading the forum and sifting through tons of good info.
Have an 85 300D with approx 348K miles that was subjected to a Lovecraft veg oil conversion some time ago.
Got up the courage yesterday to disconnect the spliced in fuel pump and fuel line heater, disconnect fuel to Lovecraft and did a Diesel Purge plus oil change.
Unfortunately, a T in the radiator line near oil filter canister meant wrestling the old filter out and new one in, knocking several vacuum lines off in the process.
Now she runs SO much better, but won't shut off. So I know the vacuum lines to the cutoff are the problem, but every other vacuum system works fine - in fact, the hard shifts are much improved, suggesting that the transmission modulator is getting a better vacuum too (though maybe she just has a lot more power).
I've looked at every vacuum diagram I can find but what would really help is a photo of the firewall vacuum line port that calls out exactly which line goes where.
Does such a thing exist? I would be most appreciative of a link or suggestion!
Thanks for all the great info I've already absorbed here.
