So,  while I'm at the process of cleaning out the injectors I clean the banjo 
 
fitting- good.  Then I check hoses from the Alda to the vacuum  amplifier 
(blue disk shaped thing) and they let air pass okay.  But  here's the strange 
thing- with the "Y" adapter that attacheds to the ALDA  disconnected the car 
drives equally slow.

I have 2 2.5's -- this  one has less power (although has gotten better with 
the purge)

If I  disconnect the "Y" at the ALDA, I should see some performance 
difference,  no?  What to check next?



John,
 
I don't know why your ALDA would be connected to the vacuum amplifier  
(normally this is for the auto transmission modulator)!  From the banjo on  the 
intake manifold, the pressure signal should go through a normally  open 
electric 
valve (part of over boost protection) and then to the  ALDA.  On yours there 
may be a tee in the line for an electronic  sensor/monitor.
 
For a GOOD test, you should run a pressure line directly from the banjo  
fitting to the ALDA.
 
Please review your connections and try the test I mentioned.
