When the engine is running and I pull the hose off of the PCV valve, the engine sputters and quickly dies. I guess it's getting too much air suddenly going into the intake while at idle. Is this expected?

That's normal... since the PCV hose goes straight into the intake manifold side via the throttle body connection.. Engine suddenly goes too lean and quits.
