Default Vacum Question on PCV

i happen to pull the hose off the passenger side of my 89 L98 Auto...and to my suprise.....put my finger up to the Throttle body itself....NO VACUM at all!! the drivers has TONS of vacum.... i've done this before....on both sides....why is there no vacum on the passenger side PCV port of the Throttle body now????????? it's almost like something is blocking it....but what??? :cuss i just fixed the heating up problem....and now...something else.

OK new Law of POS VERT. fix 1 problem=3 things will break thereafter
I'd love to tell GM the meaning of Quality control.....if that department exists.

that port goes to before the throttle blades, not to the plenum of the intake manifold. so, it's acting correctly (if i correctly understood which port you meant).

:iagree:
That's how it should be.. That's not a PCV 'connection'.
That just sucks in fresh / metered air from the TB.

Nuke, is that the port that opens up above and between the two TB bores?. Its shaped like a little upside down triangle. Are you saying this is the pcv INLET?
