Yup, Ed I do beleive a canister would help. But I would also think there would be some volume/timing/repitition type issues. Never really tested one in the real world. I have got to think there is a reason why GM went with a $250 pump over a $25 canister in certain applications. But again, I beleive that a canister will help.

Do you have one????

If you do, give it a test if you would please. Hook up a vacuum gauge to it and the motor with a tee. Start the car and measure intake and canister vacuum. Bring it up to cruise Speed (vacuum under load will be higher so if possible while the car is being driven), write them both down. Let off the gas, write them both down. Apply the brakes and note what happens. release and apply again. I would be VERY curious to see what happens.

THANKS
Rick
