What should the vacuum measure at idle?
03 Accord V6 Auto - 170,000 miles
I have the Haynes manual, but I can't seem to find the vacuum reading for when the engine is idle.
Do you know what it should be?
I'm having some pinging issues I need resolved.
Possible problems it says are EGR, Spark Plugs (changed 50,000 ago), Vacuum leak and Fuel Injection System.
Thank you!

Smaller engines tend to go toward lower end and bigger V8 tend to be in upper .
If your pinging is a part throttle type that happens when opening throttle a bit i would look to clogged EGR valve .

I don't know values for 3.0 V6 but in general a gauge reading of steady needle of 17-21inch is general good reading .

I'll report back after cleaning EGR.
Thank you!
