Sounds like the instructions are poorly written. The black tube (vacuum source) goes to a manifold that all the solenoids connect to. If you can hold a vacuum on the black tube, then you do not have a solenoid o-ring leak.

Sooner or later ALL EATC solenoids WILL leak.
BTW... Of all the EATC's I've repaired I had only 1 that the manifold was cracked.

Highly recommend FBM work. Just did mine a few weeks ago, O rings and led lights for just 45 bucks and shipping. It looks great, I didn't even know the blower speed adjuster was supposed to light up.
Well I got them changed with silicone 007 O-rings.....
and it still leaks, though not nearly as bad as it did. No signs of cracks.
The good news is the guy at the supply house said it wasn't worth the paperwork for 4 O-rings and gave them to me for free.
Back to the drawing board.

Send to FBM......problem SOLVED!!
No Marauder
Now that I've looked at this in more detail I understand these instructions. I also find them a little misleading and technically incorrect.
The O-rings do not seal the vacuum under no-load situations. They're only required when the solenoid is energized. And I'm sure they were the cause of the problem.
It's the seal on the solenoid plunger that seals while de-energized. I'm not too worried about that leak because it's leaking to the vent, and the plunger will be harder to find than an O-ring.
So it goes back together.
