Hi all,
I've known of a vacuum leak for a while. Tracking it down has been the problem.
Today after reversing out to check the radiator & switching off I can hear a hiss coming from the top rear of the engine.
The hiss stops when the fuel pump shuts down about a minute after ignition off.
A vac hose to/from the the vac switch that controls the purge canister? Or a fuel line somewhere back there?
Anyone seen or heard this & done it before?
Also, how long should the fuel pump run on after shutdown? It seems to go on for a couple of minutes. Would the leak have something to do with that?
My understanding is the fuel pump is controlled by 2 switches. 1 thru the ignition & 1 thru an oil pressure switch so the engine must be turning & ignition on for fuel to flow in case of a prang. Correct?
