The vacuum gauge has nothing to do with checking for your vacuum LEAK, it is to diagnose your problem.

You obviously did not read the LINK I posted for you.

So, hook a vacuum gauge, read the link and see which scenario best describes your reading.

"Help ME, Help You"

Fire your so called mechanic/friend.

Maybe its the fuel pump just a thought a guy could really be suprised at what problems a shifty fuel pump can make for . just a suggestion if you havent all ready get a psi reading from the fuel line then clamp the return line off and do it again with the return line clamped if it doesnt change its probably a fuel pump problem
