If it has been sitting two years I would start checking all your rubber fittings and connections. I had a vacuum leak in this 300d I am currently parting out so I ran a tube to the steering wheel and used a hand vac, the type you use for bleeding brakes, to shut it off. ;) Check the other systems also like brake power assist, heater and vent controls. Then start blocking off sections until vacuum returns. I do not know of any other way except by chance catching the problem visually.

In fact she didnt want to turn off when I tried to tell her too. LOL had to use the Fuel pump kill switch. This is my first diesel, so The "Dieseling" problem is new to me. Anyone have any ideas for me, as far as fixing this Not so bad problem.
