Valve cover vent hose

Durandal · 07-13-2009, 11:10 PM

So I checked all my iridium spark plugs and they were that orange/tan color on ends which is the color they should be according to an article I read. My coil packs metered in at 0.38, 0.38, 0.38, 0.40, 0.36, 0.35 ohms which I think is in tolerance. No oil filled spark plug wells. Replaced the PCV hoses on the valve covers and the air filter.

I also took off my throttle body and cleaned it out with throttle body cleaner. There was a lot of carbon build up as I had anticipated. I had previously cleaned the IAC valve so I didn't bother it. It now seems to idle smoother. Next step is to check the fuel filter.

Something that I had just been ignoring but now I think it should be looked at, is a problem I have been having with my throttle when I'm really stepping on the gas. If i ease my foot off the gas after stepping on it hard it will either stick and I have to put some pressure on it to accelerate again or it will lunge forward. Could this be a problem with my stock BOV? I would have thought throttle body but I cleaned that.

Thx.
