Message	So I just went to install my new spark plugs and upon removing the balance tube, I noticed that there is a decent amount of oil in both sides of the plenum, in some places it's pooled up a bit. I've done some research and many places say this is due to faulty PCVs and if not it's likely a head issue. I'm thinking, if my hesitation isn't a major mechanical issue (I will be performing a compression test this weekend) then faulty/clogged PCVs could be causing all of my problems, including the changed ecu mapping and other things that could contribute to my hesitation. Anyone have any comments or suggestions? Cheers, JBrobst "A life spent making mistakes is not only more honorable, but more useful than a life spent doing nothing." George Bernard Shaw
