Default quick question?

what would could cause my car to have 90kpa at idle? I thought it may be a vacuum leak but i checked all of them and they looked ok. i also thought it might be a bad map sensor, but dont want to pay 90 dollars for one and it not fix the problem. i pulled the intake and the gaskets look ok(LS6) i did notice the tube going into the back of the intake is a little loose.

i have posted this elsewhere but cant get any replies, so any help or input is greatly appreciated.

Open vaccum somewhere. Or a map sensor. Make sure your intake gaskets are fine however buy some new ones anyway. Check the back hose for cracks and whatnot.

PCV leak? Gigantic camshaft?

You plug the tiny little line into the back of the manifold? It runs the a/c diverter.
