Re: Vacuum issue?

["jtrealtywebspannet" <jtrealty@xxxx>]

I would recomend you replace the ignition wires and spark plugs 
unless you know for sure that they are not very old and have not 
broken down. If you spilled any anti-freeze and it got into the spark 
plug wells because the seals on the wires leaked that would cause an 
intermittant miss. If you want to check vacuum just temporaraly plug 
off all of the vacuum hoses at the engine. A vacuum leak would tend to 
be more regular and have it's greatest effect on the idle. If you have 
ANY doubts about the automatic trans slipping test the line pressure. 
A disconnected vacuum line to the modulater would affect shifting. 
Make sure it is not leaking, plugged, or disconnected. It is difficult 
to work on the front of the motor but that is where most of the vacuum 
hoses are. If the idler pulley bearings are noisy they should be 
replaced, they aren't expensive and it isn't difficult.
