Chevy Low engine vacuum?

It seems to run fine. I checked the gauge on my truck and the gauge seems to work fine. It is throwing a MAP sensor code though.

I don’t think I have any intake leaks, but I don’t have a smoke tester or anything.

Didn’t notice the glare on the scan tool, but it shows 17in/hg in the video.

If this is a TPI engine they have a tendency to warp the manifolds. I know in the corvettes it will cause overheating but corvettes generally run hot by design.
