I wanted to just get a survey from people who personally work on their cars, and have this question answered: how much oil is in your PCV hose?

My car is running about 95% properly, but it has moments when the power surges when accelerating a low rpm. Also, the idle is a little rough sometimes, but not bad.

My PCV hose has fairly solid stream of oil in it, making me think the PCV is stuck open. I took the throttle body off, and it was rather oily, so I cleaned it. At the same time I removed the throttle body, tried to clean the PCV hose and the intake inlet.

About a week later, it was very oily again. I removed the PCV hose from the car, and it was extremely oily all the way through it, and the intake also had a good deal of oil in it. I know the PCV should vent some oil, but I would not expect it to be sucking enough oil to create a steady stream of oil in a week's time.

Edited: My car is a non s car.

 

Jeff-
It sure sounds like it could be the PCV valve...I'm more familiar with the turbo version though....you might search on the valve cover and how to check it.

Good luck
