Default PSA: 7/19/2018, check your PCV TUBES, most likely cracked/rotted after 8 years, PICS.

PCV tubes

1. “U” from valley cover to intake manifold.
12594779 $6-8

2. Tube from valve cover to rubber coupler between MAF and TB
(it’s actually the rubber elbow that rots on this one)
$20

the U tube if cracked or broken will cause erratic idle and major drive ability issues. It’s an oddball 7/32” formed tube that
is only a few bucks new.
I ripped mine in 2 when swapping the great LSx oil sensor on my 07 after 140k miles.

Hope this helps, being how cheap these parts are, it just makes sense to replace.

thanks Steve, I was checking engine over tonight looking for leaks or anything out of place. I found the PCV tube from the valve cover to the MAF disconnected. I replaced the air intake a while back and must have pulled it loose then. And thanks for the heads up on the other tube as well.
