I have read quite a bit about this issue here, but I still have one doubt. The vents for the air blower were not working, so I troubleshooted the system, and found out vacuum wasn't connected to the vacuum system, so I just plugged it to the line that goes to the Vacuum accumulator, and I also threw in a vacuum accumulator since the original one was gone. This helped me to get the vents working, but now, when I drive they often fail again, this is due to a low vacuum caused by driving situations, that's clear for me.
Now, to explain my doubt, I am sure it's not a problem of the line that comes from the engine to the accumulator, as when there's good Vacuum, I can obstruct this line and unplug it from the engine and the vents will work fine for a good while (I could say there are no losses from that line).
So, there are two other things, but I'm not familiar with the vacuum system, so that's why I need some help here.
1. The engine is loosing vacuum somewhere else which doesn't allow the accumulator to work properly, however, the engine runs fine, no vacuum relatet problems as far as I can diagnose.
2. If I turn off my engine, will I still have a good vacuum in the whole system? If that's the case, what's a possible vacuum loss cause that doesn't cause any visible malfunctions?
And, as a last question, if the engine looses vacuum when it's turned off (it will obviously not suck air anymore, but my question is if the system should still have some vacuum), shouldn't I have some kind of one-direction valve that keeps some pressure in the air vents system?
Hope my questions are not too confusing, I'm just not used to test this system.
