Hi all,
My 2002 GT vert has a collapsed hose going from the PCV valve to the Throttle Body by the EGR valve.
This little adventure started a few summers ago when I was throwing lean codes because the original hose was cracked wide open.
I found a replacement and swapped it out. The hose has been collapsing completely while the engine is running since the day I put it on.
I have replaced the PCV valve in question.
I have tried EVERYTHING except for solid copper or PVC pipe, everything from fuel hose, radiator & heater hose, vacuum hose, everything.
WHY would this hose be collapsing?
It may not relate to this, or it may, but I also experience a high idle that is intermittent. Sometimes its high, others its not. The idle will hang around 1000-1200 rpms. When the idle is high the engine is very slow to come down in speed (RPMs) after I let my food off of the gas.
Any ideas?
I've also replaced my front upstream O2 sensors if its any help.
