I have found that my engine makes 9" of vac at idle, bring it up to 1200 rpm, it will produce 20". So now I have to decide how I want to go about producing vacuum when I'm in traffic and can't produce the RPMs' to bring up the vacuum.
At least now I know I can stop but sometimes it just takes more pedal pressure!
