Yes=check valve under plenum bad. If so, go to autoparts and buy a vacuum check valve and a piece of small hose (to fit nipple of valve you bought and plenum) to form a patch between valve and plenum. The check valve will fit into the plenum runner gap. This will serve as a temp fix until you can get under the plenum.

You know, I've lost my mind. This will help only if the pump were to run continuously because the check valve has failed.
