Explain the use of a vacuum gauge when testing for a restricted exhaust system.

What will be an ideal response?


To use a vacuum gauge for diagnosing restricted exhaust systems, connect the gauge to the intake manifold. With the gauge attached, run the engine at 2,500 rpm and monitor the gauge readings. If the vacuum goes down while holding the engine speed constant, inspect the exhaust system for the location of a restriction.
