Wow, that's really weird. I also found a cracked PCV valve hose when I recently did the intake rebuild. I had the infamous P0171 & P0174 DTC codes so I ordered the intake rebuild parts from Bill Jenkins and did the rebuild just before Xmas. AFTER tearing the intake system apart I found a crack in one of the PCV hoses going towards the firewall. Very suspicious.
