I do plan to have the intake thoroughly cleaned as well as replace all the PCV hoses/lines; I'm reframing this problem by looking at it as an opportunity to do some well-deserved maintenance to the engine. Thanks again for all your help guys. Originally posted by LUCA: Yep. You can be Phil too if you'd like.
