My assumption is that vacuum pump needs to build up "pressure" and it doesn't have enough vacuum for a brief on-off cycle.
I've seen numerous threads describing similar problem and most point to broken shut off valve or vacuum leak, if that was the issue in my case, why would it matter how long the engine been on for? 
Appreciate any advise! |
During the time frame you describe, multiple systems, including climate control vacuum elements are cycling, or trying to = low or no vacuum if any have damaged diaphragms.
My experience and best guess is that the vehicle has at least three vacuum leaks.
