So from what you are said I don't need to run the engine to pull a total
vacuum if I'm using an elelctric pump.

If you are using a vacuum pump the engine does not need to be running. If
you are using the engine as the vacuum pump then it has to be running to
suck the vacuum.
Are we still miss communicating?

I kept it running till I could close off the valves on the gauges and
the pressure would not increase. For my application it only took 10-15
minutes, but just depends.

I think we have a lack of communication here.
I think what's meant is:
The engine is not running during the process; the vacuum pump is run
continuously throughout the process.
