First off a very big thank you to all at Brickboard and especially to Lucid. As I posted yesterday I failed NJ emissions. NOx was 2532(standard is 1273), HC was 62(standard is 167), CO% was 0.10(standard is 0.94). So my NOx was twice what it should have been. Following Brickboards(Lucids) brilliant advice I disconnected vacuum line to the ignition controler which is behind passenger side headlite and I plugged it up. Went for retest this morning. Passed ! NOx was down to 1054 ! HC was 22 and CO% was 0.08 . Question : Should I leave this vacuum line disconnected and plugged up ?? Runs & drives fine/same as when it was unplugged & connected. Again a very big thanks to all at Brickboard.

Thanks for giving us your test results. I'll add your success to my list.

I would say to keep the line plugged, as long as you feel the car drives OK.
Especially since it's running cleaner that way.

This applies to all 240s mid'81 thru '88. Lummer's was an '86
