Hi Dan

The only thing I can suggest is there is numerous vacuum tubes all over the
car as it is used to operate the heater and air conditioner controls. I was
looking around the back of engine block and lo and behold thare was another
one.

This is just a thought, and you probably know this already. There is a
vaccum resvoir in the the inside of the wing at the back. Looking at the
engine bay it is the left hand wing. My suggestion would be to disconnect
the vacuum to this and then plug it. This will stop all heater controls
etc,. from working and will isolate the rest of the system just leaving the
engine vacuum system working. If the car runs o/k it could be heater control
vacuum system has a leak.

If you done all this already, sorry just trying to help.

Regards

Hmmm.. I like my technical term.

Well to be honest, I don't understand the in's and out's of it. What I do
know is I don't have said system and it means, amoungst other things, that
the car cannot be tuned - or the timing altered in any way (it's been
advanced as far as it'll go to compensate).

I'm not kidding when I say that the SECOND I was told.. the car started
acting up. Darren didn't even touch the bleeding thing and it stopped
running properly. Makes NO sense. I've had her a year and she's been fine
the whole time!

Big MEH...
