[DML] Vac. Solonoid & idle

[Louie G <louie@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I was just wondering if anyone could confirm to me that my vacuum hose routing into my vacuum solonoid is correct. I have the line with the u-shaped bend connected to the port closest to the electrical connector.

Also, my mode switch hisses when I turn it while the car is not running. That means I've got a vacuum leak there, right? The car is idling at about 1000-1100 rpms when it gets warm. When the car is cold it idles glassy smooth at 750rpms. I've replaced my microswitch, vacuum solonoid, idle speed motor, and have adjusted my throttle arm to ensure there's no play in it and I still idles high. Turning on the A/C compressor kicks the idle down to where it should be. This seems to tell me I've still got a vacuum leak somewhere. Should I try a mode switch next? Looking through my receipts folder the car's past owner replaced the mode switch multiple times. Are they just badly made parts, or could there be a reason why my car is chewing through so many?
