boost gauge

hey guys im new to the site and new to cobalts as well. just bought a 06 cobalt and the boost gauge lights up but just sits at like 6 or 7 vac, doesnt move. my question is where is the vac line located on the car so i can check and see if its unhooked. pics would be great too haha

thanks
mike

The guage itself is bad, you just need to put a new guage in. It is pretty common to see those guages fail.

More than likely, yes. I went through two of them in 5 years when I had my LSJ.
