RE: '83 240D vacuum diagrams

Barabus,
I'm not sure which engine your working with but I've had great success with my 240D with auto trans. Would suggest: 1)plug EGR vacuum line 2) reroute vacuum from switch over valve for EGR (left side valve when facing engine) to auto trans switch over valve. A tee connection is sufficient. As everyone has advised me, at idle you should have full vacuum reading. half acceleration half vacuum, full acceleration no vacuum. If I'm wrong I'm sure someone will correct me.
