ima check it tomorrow and ill let u know. could be the reason that if i rev too high while parked engine shuts off but when i drive its ok.

what is it supposed to be at? ima check the vac system or gauge hose could be pinched or something. i recently replaced all the hoses, radiator thermostat and clamps in the cooling system. oh and the char canister is disconnected.
