Thx, Marshall. Good to know, and good to have an updated contact addy. :)

IF the shutdown box will not hold vacuum, that is at least 1 of your
problems. Even with one thats leaking, they will still sometimes shut
down the engine if everything else holds vacuum. If you start to get a
leak somewhere else, then the weak leaking shutdown box cant do its
thing anymore.

Why save for a Kaleb shutdown box when the new ones are only about $55
with 2 new gaskets?

Yes. Even on lesser marques, a tiny crack or a slightly loose hose will
cause amazingly wonky (and sometimes intermittent) results. I installed

That's why you need a mighty vac or some sort of vacuum pump for testing out
these circuits. You could have found this in no time years ago.
But, good detective work.

the ignition switch and then spent an entire Iowa winter trying to
figure out why the car was so reluctant to start!

Subject: [MBZ] resolved -- shutdown problem (maybe)
Some of you may remember that I've had a long standing but
intermittent problem with run-on since owning my car (about two
years). I think I've resolved it and if so the solution was so simple.
