    Loosing vacuum

    I put a piece of rubber vacuum hose between the brake booster and the check valve already the vacuum pulses in that area when I connect to the nipple on the check valve but I assume that is because there’s no Reservoir to dampen it at that point

    Loosing vacuum

    There is a vacuum chamber reservoir on the front of the engine between the engine and radiator cooling fans. It’s a ball. I’m pulling the hose off of there that goes back to the system and testing from there and that’s where I am reading 10 inches of vacuum.

    Loosing vacuum

    OK thank you I think I’ve been battling this for a while and didn’t know it because on the highway I could feel the car start slowing down unless I hit the Excelerator pedal and then it would take back off whatever the issue is finally came to a head

    04 bew loosing speed

    I’m loosing boost when on cruise control car will slow down and I can watch boost drop off while using cruise control but if I tap the accelerator it will come right back then it repeats. Haven’t noticed if it will do it if im just driving using the accelerator pedal in stead of CC
