These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Sad but true. Looking for a small vacuum leak I discovered that my vacuum reservoir was toast. No problem, says I. I’ll just swap in a new one. So I button it back up figuring I’ll drive it as is until I can get the part, it does run fine actually. So I closed her up, turned the key and, you guessed it, it won’t even run! Popping and backfiring and dies immediately! Oh Fu-darn, says I. Major leak now, I guess. So, I guess that the best way to proceed is to remove the intake manifold to verify all the tubes, switches and oil filler tube. Any guiding lights?

POST 2 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

So far, broken aos tube, faulty black and white check valve, cracked (probably) vacuum reservoir... Well, I guess that could explain some shyte.

POST 3Original post

I know that making videos must be a real pain but have enjoyed your upgrade "journey" immensely. Ever thought about continuing your videos as you plow your way through this latest set of problems? Good luck...

I think that we all feel your pain. I always factor at least one self-damaged part into every job that I do!

Thanks! Yeah, I’ll try to cobble something together if it would be of some help to people. It just may need some extreme editing so you won’t have to suffer through 10 minutes of carefully chosen expletives!

Sometimes I’m afraid to do things because of the collateral damage. My headers took 6 months before I had the courage to handle broken bolts that never came. I’d love to see a video of the manifolds coming off as I intend to change all the vacuum lines eventually.
