    vacuum amplifier

    So whats the test procedure to determine if these are leaking? I got one that has 3 nipples 12,3,6 o'clock. Im sure the 3:00 is the ported vacuum sense line as it holds a vacuum regardless when pulled on. The 12 and the 6 are both open to each other regardless of the vacuum level on the sense...

    EGR question

    My.Mazda has mechanical EGR as most cars did in the early 80s. Simple: EGR is run off the ported vacuum.
