The way to check them is to hold your thumb over the opening with the engine running. Ignore the impression that there is still vacuum there, because there will always be. The thing to watch for is whether the idle speed changes when you remove and replace your thumb. The idle speed should change when the engine is cold, but it should not change when the engine is hot. > Pressure switch and pressure sensor both hold vacuum. > Pressure switch switches when vacuum applied.

I wonder if you are testing the right things. What happens when you just touch the two test probes together? What kind of meter? What settings on the meter? Give us an example of something you tested and exactly where you put the probes. I can't help thinking that you're doing something wrong. I love analog meters, but either kind should give you pretty much the same info. -- ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org
