PCV pipe was coated with oil/carbon whatever it is and I'ld say air flow was restricted by about 40%. Rubber connectors were so old and brittle they crumbled as I removed them...replaced with a new $2 rubber hose. Engine sounds a little bit more responsive. When I initially cleaned the TB I noticed in the intake manifold, just in front of the cold start injector, there is a passageway and it was caked SOLID with the infamous black stuff. Cleaned as best as my figures would allow in the restricted space but to do the job nicely would mean removing the intake manifold... not in freezing Michigan weather, I will do it in a few months or an a really warm day. Idle is still a bit high, anything else I can try before removing and checking TS?
Another question, how hard is changing the driveshaft support bearing, mine is gone.
