I agree, unfortunately it seemed to be a ghost problem...it was there, but I couldn't see.

Working on cars always teaches us something. I am glad to hear that your car is back on the road. Also, thanks for sharing your experience. The symptoms you described wouldn't have pointed to a vacuum leak to me. Great to know.

As an aside, I have started sprucing up Everett for the upcoming inspection...
