Ya i cleaned it a couple of week ago so thats not it. . . but i think i figured it out. Near the egr valve i had a hose that somehow got ripped off and was creating a vacum leak. I plugged it up for now untill i can figure out what goes there. So far so good. smooth idle. But i still think im going to replace my pcv valve n e way. I dont think its been done for a while thanks for the help!
