8. Installed new metal expandable hose clamp on PCV and
tighten - NO PROBLEM, IDLES SMOOTH AS A BABY'S BOTTOM
 






Does the engine idle rough all the time? It could be the o2 sensor. Mine idled rough all the time but especially when it was cold. I replaced the o2 sensors and it runs like a brand new engine. I also bought some throttle body cleaner and cleaned the throttle body and mass air flow sensor. Hopefully this help you.
