So I just installed a Golden Eagle Vacuum Manifold on my EP3 the problem in having is this: my car ran perfect before the vacuum manifold. After I installed the it and reconnected all the vacuum lines I can slowly build my rpms but if i try to quick rev the car just shuts off. If i keep revving the car it will stay on but it tries to die out.

Also does anyone know if you can delete the oem sensor that goes into the water neck which is controlled by vacuum that goes from the intake manifold and Ts into the vacuum lines? ... Idk what it's called.

If anyone knows what my problem could be please let me know because I'm out of ideas on what could be wrong and i just want my car to run again. Thanks!

how do you have your vacuum manifold mounted? It should be connected to the left side of your intake manifold at the PCV valve and not off another source.

So it can't be mounted off the brake booster?

depends where you mount it on the brake booster

you can have it feed close tot he elbow fitting on the intake manifold and you will have no issues

if you mount it (well plumb it ) closer to the brake booster you need to do it AFTER the check valve but moving away fromt he booster

you can feel for it inside the line itself it pretty close to the clamp the keeps it secure
