What Does This Control? pics included Reply #1 – November 25, 2007, 08:07:50 PM It's the release. You can replace the module, pull it and fix the cracked housing or leaking hose, or pull off the vacuum supply hose and plug it. Quote Selected

I undid the lines and plugged one off. if it is a simple as the housing being cracked, then that seems prety fixable to me.anyone ever fixed one? Quote Selected

What Does This Control? pics included Reply #5 – November 26, 2007, 02:10:26 PM Aside from there being a leak in the vacuum lines that run to the valve, there is not much of anything that you can do to fix it other than to replace the part. I had the exact same problem a couple years back, and upon removing the valve and inspecting it, I noticed that there are 2 rubber seals inside of it that cover one hole or the other. I'd presume that, with the nature of any rubber based seal, it deteriorated due to age. In all honesty I don't believe there is a good way to the the piece apart to repair it without completely messing it up. My personal fix was to just couple the hose vacuum lines together with a piece of wooden dowel rod.Hope that helps. Quote Selected
