we dont have a pcv. it is called a egr valve. if the valve is stuck it will cause truck to run terrible. your problem is the throttle positioning sensor. 109.00 at your local dodge dealer. it is the sensor that is on your throttle body. has two torx screws holding it in. it is going bad. once you replace it. you may have some erractic idle. just loosen up the screws a little while truck is running and turn sensor clockwise as far as it goes. this is the factory setting and truck should be fine after that.
