I traced the problem to the fuel restriction vacuum switch. <br />Even at rest with the hose removed the switch is closed. I'm guessing this should be a normally open switch... Any help would be appreciated...thanks <br />  <br />gmcjohnny <br />Member # 54070 posted June 04, 2005 08:18 PM<br />------------------------------------------------------------------------<br />jeff did you put a vac pump on system to check switch if i remember right that switch is like 80 to 90 bucks you should check it first @ my place i have replaced about 10 in the past 6 months <br />  <br />jeff151888 <br />Member # 39764 posted June 05, 2005 09:09 PM<br />------------------------------------------------------------------------<br />thanks...I did check it with my gauge, and it was closed at 4 in of Hg which says a bad switch. However I removed the switch and it was filled with gasoline...what caused that? I drained the switch, re-installed it and it works fine now..until it fills up again...any ideas?
