Vacuum Problem??
Alright, I have a 86 LG4 and I think I have a vacuum leak somewhere because when I start my car up up the vents on the inside of my dual snorkal aircleaner won't close, the carb has a massive flat spot when cold, and I can never get my cruise control to work. Where is the best place to check the vacuum for a good reading? Would it be a good idea to just go through and replace all of the hoses? Is there any sensors I should be looking at replacing?
Thanks in Advance

Yes, you should closely inspect or replace the vacuum hoses every 30,000 miles.
A good source of manifold vacuum is the PCV valve or the 'N' port on the carburetor base.
Your hose routing should be verified. It should be something like this:

Wow, thanks alot vader I really needed that diagram. Is that for all LG4's? I know right off the top of my head that my air cleaner is attached to N on the carb. instead of B that it is supposed to be. Do you think it would be a good idea to change everything to the way it shows in this diagram? Would it change anything if I have cruise control? Also i have like 5 or 6 hoses coming out my canister unlike the two coming out of the one in the diagram, do you think it is for non egr stuff??
Thanks again

That looks alot closer to what is on the car now. I think I'm going to just go through and replace the hoses and check there routing.
Thanks
