I'll check it thanks. 2 thoughts make me think it may be something else. 1- it just started after using my car as a daily commuter since the fall of 08. 2- The car restarts if I am in a coasting stall on the highway and restart, the power is fine for the next duration of my commute of another 10 mins. or so. Is there a way for the vacuum to instantly release when the engines stops?
