vacuum specs?
Is there any reason to check vacuum with a vacuum gauge?
I mean, will it tell me anything?
I've fixed a few vac leaks with patch hoses and it seems to hold my tongue when I suck on it but my egr valve seems to buzz/chatter when I suck on the vac lines out of the coffee can too.
I just have that very polite,, almost unnoticable miss in my 92 150 straight 6. Never misses when I accelerate fast... just slow cruise holding steady say 30 mph.
Mileage around 11mpg, new cap, rotor, most expensive lifetime napa wires, fuel filter, eec, disconnecting egr doesn't change anything.
There are quite a few on here that say they just live with that slight miss. after changing ALL kinds of parts and sensors.
Sometimes it idles perfectly, sometimes it pops here and there..with NO rhyme or reason or temperature./ dampness, foggy or sunny.
I bet my mileage would go up if I could figure it out.
Thanks

Thanks you very much.
With all the vacuum related problems posted here, not much mention of checking vac, only suction testing for leaks usually.

oh, ok
There was a problem recently with national medical board exams.
People on the east coast took their exams at 8 am and called their west coast friends to warn them of the hard questions.
Now the tests are handed out at the same physical time nationwide.
