A/c problem help!!

Hey guys, well i dig what you guys told me to put the mushroom thing with the solenoid and connect it directly to the a/c clutch cable. the mushroom thing works and it accelerates the engine when activated, no problem there. Now the problem comes when you turn of the a/c and the solenoid closes again, the pressure inside the mushroom keeps the car accelarated even after the a/c has been turned off. i can only releadse the pressure by disconnecting the hose. The solenoid i have it connected like this. look at attachment. what can i do? whats wrong, help!!

Maybe try a different solenoid. It could be sticking, or not the right one.
Not really sure if it makes a difference but some are vented, and some are plugged aren't they? The white one is the original.

The solenoid works perfect and its not sticking, the part that its plugged its plugged by me its not originally plugged so i can remove that plug.

If the solenoid activates when the a/c is turned on and thereby suplies vacum to the "mushroom thing" I should think that when the a/c is turned off that the solenoid would have to vent the vacum in the "mushroom thing". Otherwise the vacum would remain on there. This is how the coasting valve works. One way the solenoid supplies vacum to the coasting valve and the other way it vents to the air through a filter.

Does the Throttle Opener (mushroom thingie) release when you disconnect either wire from the solenoid? The solenoids are all the same inside.

The vacuum line you show as plugged, shouldn't be. There is a small filter that slides on that line.
