Anyone know where to buy/borrow/rent a vacuum pump?

[elwesso]

I am really getting of sick of my EGR problems... The CEL on an otherwise pristine running Q just doesnt seem right..... So I need to continue diagnosis... I do need a vacuum pump, but I dont want to throw down a lot of money on something ill use a couple times nad then do nothing with it...

If I could get one for like $20-30, then Id be happy, but I dont konw..

Does autozone rent them, or some place like that...

A hand vacuum will work, right? Something like this:http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISA...&rd=1Use it to test check valves and bleed your brakes too if you don't have speedbleeders.

If you get outbid don't worry. There are a lot out there. I'm sure you can get a good deal if you check around.

[elwesso]

Yeah I checked around and theyre about $50 new... I dont think ebay will let me down.....

Ill spend more if it will do everyhting, like bleed brakes and all that fun stuff.....

Wes, that's the exact vacuum pump kit that I have. It works great.

Especially for bleeding the brakes.

Wes, you're only 18. You're what we call a "late bloomer".

Don't worry, it'll grow.

Just from comparing the pictures, they look the same, but I don't know for sure.

was at harbour freight this afternoon,they have 2 versions of the mitivac pump-the 55$ one comes in a case,and is made of metal,the 33$ one looks identical,but is plastic and does not come in the fancy case-I say,unless you will be using this very frequently,the plastic one will do just fine.
