Installed an rx catch-can last night...no biggie...just thought I'd throw out a couple of other things...I removed my throttle body, and in the process noticed that all four bolts were barely hand tight! Also noticed some evidence of oil seepage around one corner...Anyway, check those four throttle body bolts, if you've never done so.

I threw in a fuse-pull along with the install. I had done one before, but didn't notice much improvement...This time I pulled the fuses right after I got done driving it around, let it sit overnight, and could really tell a difference today.

Might have been a combo of tightening the throttle body and a successful fuse pull, but man it runs noticeably better. Thanks for listening! Enjoy!

I'm glad I installed a catch can if just to replace the PCV hose. When I was trying to unclip the factory plastic hose, it snapped right off the end connector. Barely took any force to do it.

Thanks for the heads up on the TB bolts. I'm checking that tonight for sure.
