OLD Age. Check your vacuum lines for cracks. Not sure where you reside, but here in the South (Alabama), we saw ALOT of Snow and fridge temps. If you are using the two line waste gate, check lines and also check vac lines to boost solonoid.

all vac lines are new ...but i will check ..im in indiana and it stayed in heated storage in the winter ..is there a test i can do to check the solinoid?

trunk light?

Disconnect the negative side of the battery and put the test light in between the battery and the cable. If it lights up start pulling one fuse at a time until the light goes out. Once it does then you've found the circuit that's staying on. Make sure to take the trunk light and underhood light out so they don't stay on and mess you up.
