    Not going to work, it is not idle that is the gotcha, the weak link is below the 1200 RPM range. Slowing down and back and forth movements put the car at risk of running into something. If all low speed situations were predictable and brake applications the same maybe you could chance it. Still the first hit of the peddle drops the vac range to a less then a desirable working pressure. You can analyze this to death but until one experiences it one cannot grasp the totality of the situation.

    However putting SAFETY first this car needs a constant reliable and steady vac source. Place oneself into this persons shoes and ask yourself do I want to drive with maybe brakes, a hard peddle is not a good idea. Want to experience what he is talking about disconnect the vac line on any car and back out of the drive way.

    He is making the right decsion and the not wasting his time hacking the power assist system. Even with a check in th system it still will only produce one power assist brake application @ below 1200 RPM, just the way it works.

    ??how many times are you under way for extended periods at idle rpm, low vacuum conditions ?? ever been in a line of cars entering a car show. More times then one realizes.
