16v Cutting Out Above 4K (WOT)

[hombre@elp.rr.com (John Erickson)]

Following a lead from a guy on the Vortex, I pulled the vacuum line to the 
FPR and it smells like gas.  This indicates that the diaphragm is failing 
and gas is getting through.  I'll get a new one and hope it solves the 
problem.  My WOT switch tests fine, BTW.

Thanks for the lead.

John
