This has yellow vacuum lines running all around, including one that disappears into the RF inner fender over the tire??? There are one or two that go through the firewall in the extreme left corner. I was planning to try pluggin those one at a time or all at once to see what happened. I found a vacuum cross right in front of that which was dry, so I changed that and sent her off to see if it helped any. No report yet.

Hadn't they switched to the electric pump system by then?  For sure
in '86 they had.  Anyway, cork off the yellow line under the hood,
that will disable the door system, if it's pure vacuum.  Try this
successively on all of them.  (Green is ACC, etc.)  Car ought to work
well with only the brakes and the tranny hooked to vacuum.

You need a MityVac if you own one of these cars.
