Mine quit working 2 years ago. I could feel it pulling at the gas pedal but it couldn't hold it. The diaphragm looked okay but when I blew air into it (instead of sucking on it, yuck), the rubber bulged out in a very obvious way. Guess the exhaust manifold heat got to it. New diaphragm totally fixed things.
