Well, I figured it out at lunch so I won't need any of your brains racked today. I had mentioned that I was puzzled at the lack of other effects normally attributable to vacuum leaks. Well, leaving for lunch, it idled lumpy. On boost, it hissed as loud as ever, and when I pulled in to park outside the restaurant, it stumbled, backfired, and died.

An inspection under the hood revealed a dry, crumbly, broken brake booster vacuum hose where it goes into the intake. Hmmmm, imagine that, the car didn't want to idle with a giant hole in the manifold. Go figure.

Anyway, a little snipped off the end and reclamped and we are good to go. Purring like a kitten and quiet as a mouse. Okay, an under-insulated, overly angular mouse.

Have a nice weekend everybody.
