Turning off-

I pull into a parking space, I shift into park, I turn the key to the off position, and the car continues to run.

This is good.

It means I have a positive confirmation on the trouble with my car. I had been told it probably wasn't a vacuum leak and I had been investigating other potentialities... thought I had tracked it to a worn out preliminary fuel pump- which I might just change anyway- cause it's probably due...

the vacuum system is complicated though. Many parts- affects many other systems... lots of hoses and whatnot- lots of potential to mess things up.

Which is why I'm stalling- didn't start the work today- I have all weekend...

need to go procure a shop vac to help me test the system.


There is one larger problem. At the moment it doesn't malfunction All the time- which means testing it will get fairly complicated.

Updates tomorrow.
