So, i just got a Mityvac from haborfreight(for$32) and wanted to test my actuator adjustment mostly. I decided, before I pull the panzer plate(if i do that) I'd do a simple test to see if I have a Vac Leak.
So, i disconnected the vacuum line at the Vacuum Ball and used an adapter to mount the Mityvac onto the hose, in the balls place.. I pumped it up(or down) to 20 inches and stepped away for a 5 minutes.
In that time it went from 20" down to 13" on the Mityvac gauge.
Is this indicative of a Vac Leak, or is this typical bleedoff by the system?
Vac lines are only afew months old, but all other components in the system are old as heck.
