Yeah, did that 6or 8 months ago and it seemed to fix the problem but it came back. It's been so erratic it's hard to pinpoint. Continual now for the most part. The PCV valve is still in the hose going to the intake manifold but pulled from the trashed grommet in the valve cover.

With the engine running I can work the linkage to give it some light throttle with a noticeable surge; pull the PCV and the surge quits; put the PCV back in placeon valve cover and surging resumes. It doesn't matter if my finger is over the valve cover end of the PCV valve or not the surging stops(it is pulling pretty strong toward the intake). I also drove it up and down the driveway(steep)with the PCV valve pulled from the valve cover as mentioned above with no hesitaions or stumbles and no trouble codes.

For "fits" and giggles, I'm going to pull the EGR and clean/check it out some. Any and all ideas are appreciated. Thanks
