There is leak somewhere in the system. You need a hand vacuum pump to check.

Somethings I can think about:

  1. Make sure the pump does output BOTH vacuum and pressure. Turn the key on front door lock to test that.
  2. Follow the vacuum diagram. Check all tubing. Is there any one disconnected or broken? Don't remove the tube to inspect. You can easily pull out the tube but putting back requires a lot of removing (seat, carpet, etc).
  3. ALL tubes and vacuum elements in the system should hold vacuum (use your hand vacuum pump) for at least a minute, meaning the vacuum reading should not drop fast. The best place to test is at the Tee or fork. Just make sure which tube goes to where.
  4. All elements should lock when vacuum is applied. If not, element is bad. A branch can be isolated to test. Disconnect at the Tee/fork then use caps to block.
  5. Remember to retest everytime something is replaced. There may be multiple failures.

Good luck
