Hi there,
Could someone help me make sense of my vacuum gauge readings. I teed it off a vacuum hose going to the dash (pic1) however the readings are quite strange from what I 've researched on the net. Have I teed off in a incorrect place ? a) At idle - the readings appear normal (~22 Hg). b) Doing a throttle blip - A slight increase by +1-2 Hg before returning to normal. At no point does the needle hit 0 ! c) WOT at 2000rpm (about 15sec) - jumps by another ~ +5-7Hg and appears stuck at that reading after close throttle. I tried these tests over a period of 1/2 hr , with the engine well warmed up. The reason I am doing this because recently my exhaust has been giving a funny 'burny' smell /whitish vapor in the mornings. Just enough to sting the eyes in a locked garage. Also while we are on vacuum gauge could someone please tell me what this steel cap looking thing is on the intake side with a hose going to it ?? (pic2) thkx -ash
