RSRBOB,
Putting your last two messages together and reading between the lines I
believe that I've been "slammed"!
What exactly was your point behind your comment "It 'CLEARLY STATES' that
this procedure is ONLY necessary when the throttle
bodies have been disassembled."?

George,
There is always a possibility that something has gone awry in your intake
system or engine. Things like a valve being too tight or an intake leak can
affect vacuum readings. Remember tight valves don't make any noise, they
just
burn. Valves can become too tight from dishing and sinking into the head.
As far as the service manual is concerned, allow me to pose a question to
you. Suppose you write an instruction manual in your field of expertise,
that
you have an engineering degree in. Then a mere novice end user chooses to
attempt to facilitate repairs using your instructions. At some point decides
he is going to do it his way because perhaps something that appeared similar
that he had seen before was done differently, would you think he is
justified
in his thought process? Or would you think as an engineer you have written
the instructions to do the job properly whether the reasoning behind it were
apparent to the novice eye or not? It occurs to me that this is very much
like the statement "Having passion for something does not make one an
expert."
