A problem like that-thats hard to duplicate is a pain in the butt
But you can hear the vacuum leak?
It ges away at idle?
It could be the idle air control you are hearing.
Scanning them doesent tell you much,unless you are an old ford tech with the correct scan tool.
Those ones are a hands on- test the part kida thing.
Dont know if its possible, but i have made block-off plates to test for bad egr valves. Need a gasket and a piece of sheet metal.
I am good to go, topped off with 4 cups and heading outside now.
Watch out for these mopar mut's they will keep you busy here

A few sips of coffee and out the door this morning. Back to work. Unless they found some project, I will continue my light bulb changes. I became the 'light bulb inspector' about a month ago. Haven't even caught up with the changes from first inspection and its time to check them all again. 1000s of bulbs in this place. Must have changed well over 100 already. Most are
T8x4ft in open ceiling fixtures and I have to put plastic tubes over them and tape the end caps. They won't get the coated ones. Probably do office areas today. no plastic tubes, but its ladder work...
My diagnostic procedures are start with the free stuff, then the cheap stuff and move up fron there.
Hoses, like the ones that feed cruise control, pcv and such can split and leak when hot.

Not a ladder fan! 6’2” is as high as I get!
Got through my first cup reading your build page, very nice!
My legs would be screaming at me after a day of that!

Thanks, it’s been fun, and a learning experience. Best parts so far have been the quality time with my boy and meeting some good folks on here. This a great forum with some great people!
Thats more than the rebuilding service for them isn't it?Man looking for a vac advance for a customer he will not be happy $120 for the only one I can find!
Tricky ones to test are the ones that need exhaust pressure in addition to the usual vacuum on the diaphram.
Don't ask me how I learned this.
Just finished off mount and belt tensioner for bead roller.
Found a scrap of sheet metal and tried it. I’m thrilled with the result. Its a win! Used up some junk, only thing i really spent any money on was the cheap bead roller.

A likely scenario ...
Some telecom co workers of mine just had the "ladder fun" removing all of the cabling in the overhead from a building some of our company was vacating. They asked the manager for a scissor lift, small one that actually can go on an elevator, they've used it before. Unfortunately for them, no lift, lots of ladder moving, that cost more money than the rental of the equipment. Oh well, stupid pays better I guess...
I have two of those lifts. Handy.
Yup he got lucky I was able to fix it with another module. 7th one I have done 440 six pack.
and another 413 tach drive.
Truck governor?
I meant sending the vac advance to one of the guys that puts new diaphragms in them. I had no idea what you charge.
If you can find a guy that does mopar I have a box of bad ones that I would like done.
Those vac advances are a nightmare to start with. Why have a retard feature when you shut it off if there is no spark anyhow! I get the solenoid on the carb but WTF!
