Way ahead of you. Since that last drive, she is officially off the road until I can check it out. My vacuum gauge should get here tomorrow, so we will know more then.

Just to be absolutely sure of the test itself, it's just connect to a vacuum source after the throttle body, rev a bit and hold it, and if the vacuum slowly falls, I have a restriction, yes?
