economy gauge

If your economy (vacuum) gauge is not fully to the left at idle, you still have a vac leak somewhere. An often overlooked source is a small vacuum hose attachment at the intake manifold, rear between engine and firewall. The flexible attachment to that vacuum source lives in a usually oil-rich environment and rot easily. That attachment is hard to see and harder to access. You need tiny hands and a lot of patience.
