Why does the Mustang have a vacuum gauge?
Back in the day, Vacuum Gauges were to monitor fuel economy. The thought was the higher the vacuum, the leaner the fuel mixture; therefore, better economy. But those were mechanical gauges that reacted to even the slightest change in throttle.
What does VAC in Hg mean?
The earth’s atmosphere exerts a pressure upon us, known as the atmospheric pressure, which can be measured in a number of ways. At sea level, the standard pressure is 14.7 psia or 29.92″ of mercury (Hg) or 760 mm of mercury (Torr). The term “vacuum” is used to describe the zone of pressure below atmospheric pressure.

What causes a check engine light on a Mustang?
Once the engine starts, the purge valve opens up and purges the fuel vapors into the engine. Many times the pesky check engine light is the cause of a faulty EGR Valve Position Sensor. This sensor allows the Powertrain Control Module to keep tabs on the EGR valve to make sure it opens and closes at all of the proper times.
