Rechecked the MPS with a better vacuum gauge. It will not hold vacuum, so is being sent out for repair. A bad MPS will do it. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) THIS is why i asked you to pull the hose from the MPS and report the difference. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) Some clues point to obvious and when it only takes SECONDS to test.... |

Holding for a minute isn't as bad as it sounded, and since it died when you pulled the hose it also shows it was holding some vacuum. Sounds like there's more going on than just the MPS diaphragm. Good luck, you're in good hands. |

Just saying there's probably more to it than just the diaphragm given it does hold that long. But hoping the returned unit is a fix. |
