A vehicle having a valve stop mode control unit configured such that an intake valve and an exhaust valve are stopped in a closed state during rotation of an output shaft, supply of fuel to an engine is stopped, a clutch is made to be in an engaged state, and pistons are driven by rotational forces from driving wheels through the output shaft. When there is a request for valve stop inertial running, a negative pressure is supplied to an intake passage by a vacuum pump.

A guide ring of a pump portion is fixed in a cylinder containing hole in such a manner that a distal end of a first end portion thereof is positioned in a cam containing hole on an upper side with respect to an opening edge of the cylinder containing hole.
