MD427 -- on the off chance that you have never pulled a spark plug, or never removed a valve cover, that's fine (most of us here have never delivered a baby either). Just ignore every post on this thread but mine and pull the hose off the PCV. Plug the hose with something, anything so long as it's kinda air tight, and cover up the outlet to the PCV valve with something. Stuffing a little paper towel in the PCV opening and wrapping some duct tape around it to hold it in would be fine. Then run your car for a tankful and report back.
