> Well folks,
> I've had my RBB up on jack stands all winter doing some tinkering

> couple "top down" days (in up-state NY) so far this spring...
> I decided to start the engine 1st time since fall and had some
> trouble. The engine seemed to start while cranking, but would die down
> immediately after returning the key to the "on" position". I tracked it
> down to a mal-functioning ignition relay and actually was able to
> diss-assemble it and re-solder the tiny coil wires to the terminals which
> fixed it!
> Anyway, after getting the engine running I noticed a sucking sound
> coming from a small "solenoid valve" that controls the vacuum going to the
> distributor from the intake manifold.
> It appears that the valve is allowing air to leak into the intake
> while the engine is running. I am trying to identify this device... Is it
> the transmission control spark advance solenoid valve? (item 57 on Haynes
> wiring diagram?) I was unable to find where power would come from to
> change the valve condition (which was normally closed).
> Any info would be appreiciated...
