another possibility?

Failed vacuum resevior.
Our fleet had same symptoms with E-450s of near model years.
We found plastic could not stand engine compartment heat, replaced with new and they soon failed.
Relocated resevoir to passenger kick panel up under glove box area.
If you can reach your resevoir, see if it feels collapsed.
