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.

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...
