air leak/vacuum generator leak

[Stephen H]

Kerry,



My 81 does the same thing. After shutting off the engine, it will make a air
leak sound for a little while, that changes when the lines are moved. It has
been awhile since I have looked at it, but if memory serves- I have the same
device, with a leaking sound coming from a empty port as well. I will be
monitoring this post for a repair and or replacement for the device. Let me
know of your progress.

I investiagted my air leak a little more. It does appear to be the
vacuum generator mounted on the bottom of an air manifold behind the
bumper. Air is coming out of the one of the fittings that has never
had a hose on it. When I plug that fitting, the air must backfeed
thru the cruise control vacuum system because it blows the hose off
the vacuum canister on the engine. Do I need to replace the vacuum
generator (if that is what it is)? If so, where would I purchase a
replacement?
