I pulled my battery and tray out to change my fuel filter, couldn't get the bolt for the top line off, even holding the filter, it still wanted to twist. So I put it all back together but apparently I was leaning on the cruise actuator because it broke off, where the red line in the picture is.

I also ran a compression test, 175,175,160,175.


When I left the shop the car would buck a little bit around 2000rpm's, but was allright higher and lower than that. Vac gauge is normal, idle is normal. Not too sure what I did. Do I have to cap off the vac line that goes to the cruise canister untill I get another one?
The plug wires are all on right, when doing the compression test I only took one off at a time.
 
P0105: Manifold Absolute Pressure/Barometric Pressure Circuit Malfunction

I was going to just block off the vac line going to my Cruise Actuator, since I broke it at the red line in the picture below, but instead I just removed the electric motor/vac lines. Now this Code keeps throwing. Is it because I disconnected the plug in the lower left corner of the yellow square?

Should I hook everything back up and just block off the vac line?

Reason I'm doing this is because like I said I broke it, at about the red line in the picture, so the vac line is just sucking in air. And my car bucks around 2000rpm. Didn't do this before.
 
Yep, that is a vac line or air release problem in the intake tract somewhere.

I would just return it back.

So I should put it all back together and just block off the vac line? It's sunday, so I can't replace the actuator today. Will it run normally with that vac line blocked?

It should. Just won't be able to use cruise since the line is no longer controlling your speed/cruise. I would cap it off. Might not be the answer, but would be what I would do if it happened in my car. :thumb:


I also can't see the pic above. It is a pic of what looks like the Giffen symbol.

Yep, I would say that was part of the metering of air through some elaborate vac system. People that have taken out there CC have left it plugged in and capped the lines after removing the cables.
 
I plugged the vac hose off as best I could, threaded a bolt into it then zip-tied it. It's still bucking. It drove better with out it, but the cel would come/stay on.
 
Is there anywhere to get better definitions of diagnostic codes? Everywhere I find says the same thing P0105 Manifold Absolute Pressure/Barometric Pressure Circuit Malfunction

The manuals or CD. I don't have mine with me. Maybe someone can help you out.


My haynes doesn't even have P0105 in it, I'll check the CD. It's got to just be because that connector was unplugged. It ran better like that, I think I'll just unplug it untill I can get a new actuator from a scrap yard.
