As far as opening and closing nothing, just make sure your hose is filled with water it is eaiser to begin vacuuming, normally we attach the hose to the vacuum that goes in the pool then attach the hose to the skimmer then begin vacuuming if we do not loose our prime, if the pressure gauge on the filter is reading low you can probaly can start vacuuming if it is reading mid to high pressure it sometimes is best to backwash before vacuuming.
The vents are opened and closed by vacuum. There should be a vacuum line running from the engine to the inside of the Trailblazer. That line is broken somewhere and it is not sending vacuum to the switch. That will cause it to blow to the top of the dash (defroster) and to the bottom (floor.) Find that line trace it back and splice a new line in where it is broken. That should fix the problem.
Old/worn intake manifold gasket and/or damaged/broken/mis-routed hoses attaching to intake manifold.
If you have a dedicated suction for the vacuum hose (illegal in Australia) then you close the skimmer to increase suction.
The brakes on a 97 S-10 are bled by attaching a vacuum pump to the bleeder valves and loosening the valve. The vacuum is then used to draw out air until only fluid is present.

Basically, the amount of vacuum in the intake manifold varies with how much the butterfly valves(either in the carby, or in the throttle body on a fuel injected engine)is opened. If you take your foot off the accelerater, the engine is trying to suck air past the partly closed butterfly, thus creating vacuum. If you are under acceleration and the butterfly is open, the engine is drawing air freely, so manifold vacuum is low. Turbocharged engines have lower vacuum because the air is force-fed, so an electric vacuum pump is sometimes used to run the brake booster.
Vacuum
Clarification: I am wanting to know how much vacuum I need to pull to get water to boil at 150 degrees.
When trying to open the freezer that was recently opened, you will get slight vacuum inside opposing the door opening. On the first opening, some relatively warm air enters the fridge and once the door is closed it is cooled and this causes a drop in pressure that is so called "the suction". When you quickly close the door, the moisture in the warm air is cooled instantly and condenses out. This causes the 'new' air to lose volume creating the vacuum effect. Its a good thing really, as it proves that your door seals are working.
The length of the suction hose is around 2 feet, with an additional extender where the hose can extend up to 3 feet. with the Canister Vacuum.
Engine vacuum will be affected by valve adjustment due to vacuum leakage when valves are not closed at the proper time, when the piston is on a downward stroke. The vacuum would be less that it should be.
