Alright, I DID IT! [Oddly enough my heater came back on after driving] This absolutely cannot be done cold [not our "cold" anyways] The tube was just too solid for me to remove the valve..After driving and getting 2 cans of seafoam I got it removed. I cleaned the valve out with MAF cleaner.. and it worked.. had a few chunkies come out and I got the valve to rattle and move freely like it's supposed to... with enough pushing I got the valve atleast half way in, It's sitting now, I'm gonna let it sit for a half an hour and see if anything changes.. I'll probably do it again tomorrow. I put some in the BB, and PCV, gas, and oil. Bad news though.. when I was doing this.. I was getting smoking.... in my face.... meaning driver's side exhaust manifold leak... time for TMH... heh... someday.. I'll update once I go for a drive.. This all was made so much easier for me having my remote start in my hand.. lol..
Update: Didn't change a thing. Well... last night was pretty bad.. the hesitation, even heard what kinda sounded like.. light backfiring.. if there's such a thing? I still have a rough idle. I'm going to do it again tomorrow.. I might not have done it correctly this time around.. there was a time where the engine was ran after the seafoam was put in the PCV because I put more into the BB... so I might have just burned it up in the process of throwin it in the BB cuz I was getting awfully fustrated with the PCV. I'm gonna use just the PCV tomorrow, with half a can and I'll let it sit for an hour or two. I did get light smoking though.. I KNOW my engine is dirtier than that.. I got more smoke in my face than I saw when I was driving or letting it idle.
