Checking for vacuum loss (unloaded condition)

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2005 Mazda 6. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Stop the engine when the vacuum gauge reading reaches 66.7 kPa {500 mmHg, 19.7 inHg}. 
  2. Observe the vacuum gauge for 15 seconds. 
    • If the gauge shows 63.3-66.7 kPa {475-500 mmHg, 18.7-19.6 inHg},  the unit is operating.
    • If not, inspect for damage on the check valve or vacuum hose, and examine the installation. Repair as necessary, and inspect it again.
