On the engine compartment there is a vacuum diagram that might be helpful. Also see:
http://www.peachparts.com/shopforum/...m-diagram.html discussion. Black line is just a vent? The rubber connectors to the plastic hoses may also become loose.
First, pull a vacuum on the shut off actuator and see it the engine shuts off.
Any break in the vacuum system will cause fail to shut off engine. Measure the vacuum off the brake boost to see if your getting vacuum, if not check the pump and the main hose - they get brittle and connectors snap. You need to isolate each hose to see it will hold a vacuum. google "mercedes 123 84 300d vacuum system diagram.
