I had finally got all the hoses and other stuff together to start putting the intake back on my SVX and just for giggles I hooked a hand vacuum pump up to the IRIS control diaphragm. Of course the damn thing leaks
If you keep slowly pumping the hand pump, the valve will stay open..... but I guess this valve is supposed to open under low vacuum situations too, such as full throttle above 4000 rpm. I got ahold of Jason at 1stsubaruparts.com and he said there were none available in these United States, plus the price was outrageous.
What should I do? The car seemed to run pretty strong before I decided it needed all it's vacuum hoses replaced.
