That means there is no way Vacuum can have an effect on the Vacuum Shutoff. If you drive the Car and there is still a loss of power the power loss is not being caused by Vacuum getting to the Vacuum Shutoff Valve. If it is stull Slow Check your throttle linkages at the Fire Wall. There is a Rubber part that rots away and some have a Big Plastic Ball/Bushing unseen behind the Bracket that crumbles away. Or simply hold onto the Fuel Injection Pump Throttle Lever and have some one step slowly on the Accelerator Pedal and watch the movement of the Throttle Linkages. If there is a lot of slop in the linkages try to find the cause. In the Manual there is specific lengths for the linkages.

Thanks everyone for the contributions... I will try to swap the vac lines at the back of the switch and see what happens.
Regarding the loss of power, I don't believe the linkages are at all related (correct me if I'm wrong here...) because the loss of power only occurs when the car is in gear (and intermittently at that). If I put it in park and push the pedal down the engine responds normally with plenty of power. To me, that seems to rule out the linkages right? ...because it only occurs when in gear? Zacharias: I checked the pressure sensing line and it looks good, no cracks of any kind.. |

I suggest you swap those vacuum lines at the switch and get that sorted, then report back if has made any difference to the performance problem.

The no power issue could be that the shutoff valve is getting some vacuum and not allowing the IP to throttle up. Shutting the car off releases this vacuum sometimes,,, just a guess
