With the AC off you should be around 20 vaccuum.

mine sits at 19-20 at idle. Doesn't move at all while idling, if I look real colse maybe I can tell it is twitching just a bit between 19½ and 20. So if your leedle is moving more than that, or if your reading lower than 19, start checking for vacuum leaks.
