Compensating for another problem. You probably have a leak in the line that affects shut off, and it's somewhere further back than where you tapped in to install your new system.
Instant Off
1984 300TD
The vacuum system works good. Good brake and locks work fine. One thing that bugged me is that it took what seems like a long time for the engine to stop after the key is turned off. About two to three seconds. It shakes bad during this time.
I pulled a vacuum reservoir tank off a gasser and installed it and a check valve as close to the vacuum switch on the ignition as possible. The engine now stops nearly instantly. About a half of a second. Much nicer.
How long should it take to shut down?
Am I compensating for another problem or have I made a design improvement?
