Yes! this is sounding good (in a way). I am going to find this vacuum leak tomorrow with some carb cleaner at my side. Now I feel odd having two threads that end up with the same conclusion (vacuum). I thought this one was more a gas related issue, and was started the night I had a few brews after fighting with this thing (and wanting to drive to to Downtown Edmonton and having the Somalian gangs pimp it out). I by no means am claiming I know what I am talking about, and I am just going by what is being mentioned here, but this silly vacuum line that goes attaches to this PCV thing and then attaches to nowhere relevant...

first picture is the PCV valve that attaches to a hose at a fitting in front of the intake........



this second picture shows the hole that it sits in . As you can see unless I am on crack, the PCV valve sits in the hole, but is not actally plumbed into anything. I by no means am a mechanic (in case anyone here can't tell that), but this valve sucking in a tonne of air might not be helping the situation :
