Interesting Idle Vacuum Correlations PART 2

That's for sure.
Actually, that is probably part of the problem here.
I haven't really been able to think linearly on this one - I get side-tracked.
I am going to go try running the car with the alternator wire disconnected and then the battery disconnected and see what happens.

I'm wondering about rotor sealing. Ultimately it is the movement of the rotors that is creating the vacuum. Iirc, the test for engine recall involved some type of vacuum measurement. It seemed curious at the time that it wasn't a compression test. I guess a seal might still be good for compression but have some wear that would show up as lower vacuum? I dunno how to verify. Throw some heavy premix at it? Intake ports with some carbon blockage? Seafoam time?
