So I just cant leave stuff alone...
Ive been having problems for months with my engine sucking oil up through the PCV valve, mostly because its sitting in oil and goes directly into the intake so it has alot of vacuum pressure to it.
I thought to myself, If i reduce the vacuum pressure behind the throttle body it will make a big difference!
So I went to twist the idle adjustment bolt that controls what position the throttle/air flap is in when its 'closed' and as my luck would have, that bolt broke in half and out shot a spring and metal rod.
To compensate for that, I drilled a bit of a hole in the throttle plate, It might be just a bit too big because now it idles just below 1000rpm and when im driving the rpm will bounce from 1300-1600 only at that range if im coasting.
PROBLEM. I took everything apart to check the plugs and had gas, raw gas in the plastic manifold and down into the throttle body to the air filter.
HELP! I do know that there is a vacuum hose that goes from the intake manifold to the fuel rail, but I would assume it would suck up less now that the vacuum pressure is less inside the manifold..
