Thanks for that...I had a spare MPS and the car runs great. I was just messing around with the old one. I tested the electrical portion as per the pbanders info and it looks like the failure is in the secondary coil.
Thanks

i had had a electric failure in an mps as well so they do happen, and it was very frustrating trying to track down the issue. it was intermittent, so difficult to see that it was the mps , but also have had the diaphragm failure but vac was holding, and that was just recently. you have a spare so while you are using that one take your failing one apart and look at that diaphragm, if it’s torn rebuild it with the kit from Tangerine, and the. retest it, of get a cheap core to rebuild . but for proper calibration you real need to send it to someone like Jeff Bowlsby who has the LCR Wavetec meter that can do this.

good luck,
Phil
