    I went ahead and changed my lower intake gaskets. When I take the oil cap off the engine will stumble and die, also when I pull out the dipstick it will stumble a bit and you can feel it sucking air in... Iv noticed when I manipulate the oil cap the noise will coincide with it. I took off serp belt and the noise was still there I initially thought it could be the power steering pump.

    I changed upper gasket and pcv valve as well I also changed the larger o ring that sat at the top of the pcv housing.


    I have found a thread on here saying possibly pcv..so before I go messing with it..How simple as it may seem I want to make sure what I have to do



    This may sound stupid but as far as that little pipe or plastic hose that's attached to the upper intake gasket...

    When I took off the upper plenum the plastic pipe with the curve at the end was just sitting there in its brackets, it was totally the opposite of how the new one came in its package..so I lined up the curve end with the pcv port.... Not sure if that was correct...

    Do I need another pcv or maybe change that spring..I'm hoping its that simple.
