Had a leaky PCV line :x :x :x
Nice thick hose coming from the intake manifold.
The car had idle'd weird for a few weeks and I thought it was the spark plugs that I had just swapped. It also didn't feel to get going as it did when I first drove home, but I thought that was just me getting used to the power. Then my gas mileage seemed to keep dropping, was maybe 9mpg at best. Not cool...
I didn't notice it until I changed the oil last week...heard a huge air leak but had no idea where it was coming from. Didn't think too much of it.
Well the leak finally got worse and completely collapsed the line, causing the car to not idle at ALL and just die out. I had to drive it to mclinton's rev'ing it all the way making sure it didn't die... :(
$150 and 5 days later (waiting for the line to come in) the car idles great and feels plenty stronger :mrgreen:
And is now in the shop getting the 4.10s put in, and then long tubes/ORY next week now that i've found a 'friendly' exhaust shop
