Yup that is it. All hoses I can see look great. With the grime I
scaped off the transmission when I had the motor out there is a good
chance the actuators are gunked up also. Is it possible my new forced
induction toasted my vacuum check valve? As I remember I put the one
from the turbo motor inline in front of the old one. Maybe I need to
ditch them both and get one new one.
Wait. Maybe this is an excuse to get a hand vacuum pump to test it!
