Default Vacuum Pump

With the key in the On position the vacuum pump keeps running. Occasionally it stops for a second and then keeps running. Is it supposed to stop? Does this mean I have a leak?

Thanks,
Jim

Yes. You have a leak within secondary vacuum system most likely under the plenum.

Make sure you don't burn out the pump I would disconnect it till you fix the leak. I seen people asking as much as 400 for the pump

You should first try to disconnect the line going to the plenum from the pump, and hold your thumb over the pump side hose. Then you'll know if the pump/hose is good. Then you could try to disconnect the vac hose from the driver side of the plenum and plug the hose with your thumb. If the pump then stops, it's the check valve.

I had to replace a vacuum solenoid valve under the plenum. There is s thread for it. Original is discontinued But DELCO sell one one you just change the bracket. Just go bit by bit systematically.
