Message	A misfire caused by anything, including a leaking fuel adapter, will cause erratic vacuum readings at idle. Vacuum pressure drops as engine speed increases, so you need to be at the correct stable idle speed to get correct vacuum readings. One of the keys to using manifold vacuum pressure as a diagnostics tool is to know what it is when everything is running good in your specific motor. Depending on the condition of the motor and other variables, 18-20 in/hg may be good. If you didn't have a fuel leak, and you were positive of no external vacuum leaks, yet struggling to find why your vacuum pressure is on the low side, you would need to perform a leakdown test to see if you have a valve, or a few, that aren't sealing well. What are your compression numbers? Cleaning or replacing the pcv valves couldn't hurt.
