Yes, I tested and tested everything and all the vacuum components are working. After looking at this diagram, I do see number 48 (orifice vented for 20 seconds) must be what causes it. As I said, upon acceleration, heat is present for about 10-15 seconds (it must be 20 seconds per the diagram). What I did was added a second Y-splitter and a one way check valve. This diagram is accurate, but my car has an economy gauge, the "drt" line, the "rt/gn" line, and the "mgn/rt" line getting a direct feed via intake/2-way check valve. I added the check valve to the "mgn/rt" line and it seems to have eliminated the 20 second vent and seems to not have changed anything else. I'll see how this holds up or if I notice anything else that changes.
