I repair the chasis ,and the engine, but now the autostick doesnt work

My English is poor enough, and it is difficult to me to understand very much  so technical texts.

im trying to find a post to help me fixing my problem, but im not sure about im understanding

OK on Your English.
Technical texts can be hard for people who understand english too..
Have You replaced all the vacuum hoses?
the large ones [12.7mm or 1/2 inch] and the smaller one
Once these are all replaced with New Hoses [NOT auto heater hose- not for vacuum]
I used truck air hose [powaflex - made in USA - 300psi multi purpose hose]

You can try a good quality thick rubber hose - maybe transmission oil hose?

I hope You can understand me OK..

Its Best to start with ALL NEW HOSES...  To STOP any problems with the Hoses
the old hoses do crack and leak air so the auto stick will not work

cheers

Thx for your time.

I understand all, thx ,
so I have to replace the vacuum hoses, ande they are the number2 and 4?, anymore?

Hi
You need to replace 1-2-3-4 hoses
number 1 is 18 inches long [460mm]
number 2 is 10 inches long [260mm]
number 3 is 24 1/2 inches long  [620mm]

number 4 is the small hose --  it should be easy to find...
just take it to an auto shop..


these are all the vacuum hoses
