vaccume question

at idel my car is 10hg on vaccume which is way low, and if i rev it a little it will go to about 18-20 hg, but the rpms stay about 2k dose this mean a vaccume leak?, it acts like that is what it is.

RE: vaccume question

I would think it would still be around 14-15 in/hg at least unless you have a whole lot of duration too. Spray around your intake with some carb cleaner to see if you have any leaks.

I'm live down Rt 27 about 10 minutes south of Main St.
