It came back after about two weeks. I then really pushed the PCV valve in. It's been a month no CEL. I don't notice anything with the performance. If it comes back again, I will wait for a nice day and do it again.

Veerg , just wondering if this was a permanent fix. I did the repair back in 2009 and I also got the 0171 & 0174 codes again and it's idling rough.
