What causes a crankcase vacuum to run out of oil?
Intake manifold gasket failures have causeg this in numerous “V” engines from nearly every manufacturer over the years…burning oil and stinky engine oil can result as well. it’s been months since your last posting. and unfortunately my hi idle has not been resolved.
What does it mean when your engine vacuum is low?
Normal Engine: On most engines, accelerate to around 2000 rpm and then quickly release the throttle. The engine should snap right back to a steady 17- 21″hg vacuum. Steady low between 5-10″hg vacuum: This indicates that the engine has a leak in the intake manifold or the intake gasket.
Is there a vacuum in the intake manifold?
There is pretty much no vacuum in my intake manifold but a ton of vacuum under the oil cap. My diagnostic system isnt picking it up either though hg drops to zero. This can not be a intake manifold gasket because the vacuum would pull from the ambient air not crankcase.
How to block oil in the distributor cap?
For the price of a tube of RTV silicone, all you have to do is block 4 out of 5 slots around the bottom bushing. There’s a few more in-depth steps involved; so for the full step by step instructions from Performance Distributors, please visit their step-by-step guide.

Where does the vacuum go in a crankcase car?
For the high crankcase vacuum, check for a hose from one one of the valve covers that goes to the intake air inlet tube, somewhere between the air filter and the throttle. Make sure that this hose isn’t collapsed or clogged.

What is causing this insane crank case vacuum?
What is causing this insane crank case vacuum? Crank cases don’t develop vacuum, they develop pressure from blowby. The fumes then waft up the oil return passages and are drawn back into the engine from under the valvecover via a tube and an orafice in the throttle body assembly.
