Vacuum Gauge, My Observations
So on my swift I have recently installed a 14.99 Princess auto vacume gauge. It is not mounted yet and sits in one of my cup holders.
At idle it reads at 25Hg and it moves very quick with throttle input.
While driving I noticed that alot of my typical acceleration would have the guage reading 0Hg. I tryed different throttle inputs and found I can climb most hills without going below 5Hg. There are a few that need WOT in gear and 0Hg. In typical coast driving, I.E. level ground to a slight uphill grade I find I can keep it at 10-15Hg.
Has anyone else noticed how sensitive to throttle input the gauges are. I have found that I can move the needle with such imperceptable throttle changes. I can now bring the vehicle to accelerate by bringing the gauge to 5Hg instead of my usual response which would be a 0Hg.
Another thing I noticed was when the vehicle begins to build vacume on a slight downhill I can find at 20Hg I can push in the clutch and begin a coast.
Anyway if I make any other observations I'll share them. Have you noticed how your cars react?
