HI Eddy


on 8v yes pump to filter then onward to the engine bay so as you say.. ..  on 16v  goes  pump >filter> accumulator.  great isnt it service a car and make it worse...  Im loath to touch own car whilst running..  i know rocker is leaking, but i just keep topping up, as i dont want to distrub vac pipes. 
go round engine bay with wd40 or brake cleaner,easy start see if vac leaks are there from moving air filter etc.  car will rev if sucking fumes in.  

Earths and cables are crap on mine, car is dodgy starter always has been, but alternator, starter,ignition module, fuel pumps  and accumulator are all replaced  in my ownership. Battery never seems to take a good charge... little jumper starts it...so i keep habdy on all drives out

doh! I had leads 3 and 4 the wrong way round, even though I'd convinced myself they were correct. nothing like checking your own work.

Facepalm - I have done this myself as well.
