Even if you don't have a turbo, a vacuum guage can still do some good...http://www.fordf150.net/howto/diagnoseengine.php

 

If you have a problem then just hook up a vacuum gauge. Not much of a need for it driving daily though...

Might as well leave it; you might be able to detect problems sooner. Plus, gauges look cool! :yay: :thumbup:

 

yeah they look cool, but not for 80+ dollars.. and losiing another space for a potentially useful gauge.

 

Is there anywhere i can just plug the hose into so that I don't have to splice into another line?. This would be so much easier. Thanks.

 

Think about the situation you're hoping for: there's some open spot somewhere that will act as a vacuum source that is just sitting wide open waiting for you to plug something into it... ummm... no. If there was an open vacuum source on your intake, your car would run like utter crap.

Get a little plastic "T" from auto zone or something, cut a vacuum line, put the "T" in place and connect your new vacuum line for your gauge. If you end up removing the gauge sometime, go back to said auto zone and get get an extremley inexpensive length of vacuum hose to replace the section that you spliced into.

Easy enough.

 

Actually........my friends got an '86 Yota Pickup, and there are 2 places that you can plug stuff into right on top of the intake manifold. Originally, both of these had tubes going from them to the top of the engine block, but he took the tube off of one to hook up a vac guage, and just put a filter cap on the engine block. So im guessing my civic doesnt have these?:dunno:
