Red face Re: Massive suction through oil fill

OK, thanks to all for the help. The car is fixed and running great and it only cost me $3.17 tax included. The only bad part about it is the fact that it was all my fault. As I said, the upper intake was replaced not long ago and a new map sensor did come with it. On my way to the shop I picked up a new PCV valve as I said to my self, if I'm going to pull the old one out I may as well just throw a new on in there for 3 bucks. So as much as I hate to say it, when I pulled the map housing off the car I was shocked to see that there was no PCV in the car! I blew it in the first place! It took me longer to find my o-ring kit (the new valve did not include one) then it did to do the whole job and it is of course running perfect. I cleared the codes and that was that. Funny thing is as I was putting the o-ring kit back where it should have been in the first place what did I find? You know it, the PCV valve that was included with the new upper still in its sealed plastic bag. Stapled it to the wall above the work bench as a reminder to double check everything every time. I hate to think off all the fuel I wasted and the oil use is explained as well. Lesson learned, I'm so ashamed!
