Older than I have owned the van. I have pulled the vacuum from it and no
leaking though if there are other issues relating to that to check I am
game.
Was thinking maybe my injectors somehow got borked and was going to do the
tests on those. They don't seem to fit very tight in the runners there at
the bottom. I can pretty much just pull them out like the big gasket isn't
as right to the metal ring as it used to..I also feel like there where two
sets of rubber o rings at the bottom?
