easiest way to test vacuum pump is ,
with engine off, pump brake pedal until pedal goes hard
keep pressure on brake pedal and start engine
if vacuum pump is good, you will feel the brake pedal go softer so you don't have to use as much effort for pedal to be depressed
Test it with a vacuum hand pump.
It does not have a test connector
Check at the line out of your fuel filter
Technically, a diesel engine does not need any outside electrical source to keep it running. Injectors are mechanical and keep running until they are forced off, usually by a solenoid. Check the shutoff mechanism to make sure it isn't sticking. This diesel shuts off using vacuum. If your vacuum is low or leaking, the vehicle will not shut off using the key. You have to open the hood and push the SHUT OFF plate near the top of the engine in the fuel linkage. Vacuum leaks are common and will keep the door locks, climate control, and engine shut off from working. The shut off valve, located on the back of the injection pump, can fail. It is vacuum operated and the diaphragm can tear. Vacuum test this valve. If it holds vacuum keep looking for other vacuum leaks, if it leaks replace it.
I have exactly the same problem, when driving it is fine, just when the engine is at idle speed (stopped/verys slow) that it has an issue. did you get it sorted and what was it? thanks
Check all vacuum hoses and fittings 9 year old vehicle may be wise to replace all hoses one at a time You can get a vacuum pump to test vacuum operated motors under dash
If it's vacuum (has hose) just apply vacuum.
Test it with a vacuum gauge.
Test access to wiring can be gained by an access cover under the lower back seat. Pump can only be changed by dropping the tank.
not one bit. There is not a single chemical in diesel that they test for in a urine analysis.

Test the resistance with an ohm meter.
