Hello,

I'm slowly working through all of my issues on my truck as I get it road ready and much more reliable than it has been. I've fixed the driveshaft and U-joint issues I had earlier and now am focused on the engine.

The engine sputters and takes a bit to warm up when started. Once she's going she idles hard and sounds like she wants to quit all the while shaking around.

I've already replaced the air filters, O2 sensors, and pulled the MAF sensor and replaced it. Next on my list is the PCV. I've signed up for the ALLDATAdiy service and they don't have any decent diagrams to show me exactly where it is. I've read through all of the threads and would love your help.

Here is what I'm thinking is the hose that might connect to the PCV:



My problem is I can't easily get back to where it is connected to. I don't want to start pulling things to get back there and be wrong.

So does the PCV that I'm replacing live back in there? That is where the hose from the first picture connects to.



I appreciate your help. I'm getting close I can feel it.
