Vacuum pump dead?
Vacuum pump dead?
I go around the block, get the car in the driveway and park. Turn off the engine and nothing!
Its still running. I learned from ronnie, that engine shut off is controlled by the vacuum. So I open the hood expecting to see a loose hose. That is not what I find.
I find Oil i spewing out the big hose coming from the vacuum pump and I couldnt stop the engine with the engine stop tab on the linkage.
So I disconnect fuel and choke the engine of air. Got it off and hopefully i didnt seize it.
Anyone have any idea what might be the issue? Is it common for oil to come out of hoses with a bad vacuum pump?
