The diaphragms appear to be independant. So vaccum in #2 will still hold.

As for #25 being connected... #25 is cold advance and should only come on when the motor is cold, as long as it is routed through the appropriate thermovalve.

so what exactly does it do is it really needed to pass smog and will it make the car run like crap

well the reason i was plugging number 25 was becuse i was told it would help limit pinging when the car is warm, a very bad problem my car has, looks like i made the problem worse
