Please try to phrase your questions better. If no one understands you, you'll never get an answer.

LG4's do have a vacuum sensor. Its called a Differential Pressure Sensor, and works just like a MAP sensor does. However, the readings are inversed. Do not confuse the Manifold Absolute Pressure sensor that most other cars have with the Differential Pressure sensor. Replacing a DP sensor with a MAP sensor (common mixup among parts store monkeys) will create nothing but problems. It will not set a trouble code, but will run terribly and leave you scratching your head. Even a scan tool wouldn't help here. The tool will read correctly, and the ECM isn't smart enough to realize the readings are backwards. Ask me how I know
