Here is an update on the situation...went out for a drive tonight and paid a little more attention to the vacuum gauge as I was driving. Here are some notes:
- when cruising, the vacuum gauge reads around 10-12
- when I take my foot off of the accelerator, the gauge jumps up to around 20
- under hard acceleration, the gauge drops to around 5 and THIS is when it starts to sputter until it "catches its breath" so to speak and starts to accelerate again and the gauge goes back up to around 10-12

Now this is all under the assumption that the vacuum gauge is operating and reading correctly.

What should I make of all of this? Is it safe to drive or will I do harm to the engine?
