Remove and check the small brass fitting at the end of the small hose connecting to manifold. It often clogs. Clean out by poking with a small drill bit or stiff wire.

I have never had much luck with the jiggle test. I believe the "jiggle" is different depending whether you have a metal or plastic cap. I just hold the cap over the hole and as you lower it to touch you should feel the suction. Also put a new gasket on the cap. if it's bad you can get seepage even with a good vacume in the crankcase.

good luck
