Could it be youre missing the PCV valve? It may have been clogged dirty and popped off from all that pressure. If the PCV valve is stuck open at engine idle, too great a quantity of spent gases are let through. Rough engine idling and stalling can be the result. If the PCV is stuck closed, pressure inside the crankcase can build up and the gases can force engine oil up through the breather and air filter causing excessive oil consumption and a fouled intake system. The good news is that replacing the PCV valve is both easy and relatively inexpensive.
Since most PCV valves open and close by way of a spring and plunger, they should be checked or replaced approximately every 20,000 miles, or according to your vehicle's service schedule. Since a crucial part of proper PCV system operation is a positive seal, it's also a good idea to check all hoses, grommets and clamps when servicing the valve. Always replace cracked and leaking rubber and defective clamps when replacing the PCV valve.Black \'96 RS Camaro, 3.8 V6 Series II, M5, Stock 200 HP, 204K miles!
