Merv, If this problem just started up... than I would check all your vacuum lines, check the ends for cracks under the fabric coating the line. A very common problem, and can lead to other performance issues. If you have always had a problem, some people find it helpful to install a vacuum holding tank, like this one. http://www.rockauto.com/catalog/raframecatalog.php?carcode=1019461&parttype= 5177&a=FRc1019461k586755 Very cheap, and works wonders! Good luck!

When I set the cruise I feel it kick in through the accelerator but then it fades out pretty quickly. Do you think this could be vacuum related. Thanks Merv. |
