ok, i'll check it out on my lunch, i'm just looking AT it right? i dont have to open anything up?

i havent changed the PCV valve in the year that i have had it. before that, i dont know.

ok cool, i'll grab one of my coworkers and see if they can smell anything just in case.

let's hope it is as easy as that.
thanks a ton! the last thing i need is to be fixing things that arent broken. i'll update with any new clues i find.

 

Need to open the throttle all the way, and look down in there with a flashlight. Wait until you get home. Not exactly clean under the hood. (suppose it depends on what you do for a living if that really matters or not..... )

 

dentist.... jk. i'm a graphic designer and it wouldnt really matter if i got dirty. no one will even be in my office probably.
i didnt want to wait until dark but if i'll need a flashlight anyway it wont matter and i can wait.

 

how do i open up the throttle?
