Gas Pedal Delay

pcv hoses on the other hand were hot. Is it possible that the PCV valves are getting stuck open when the engine gets hot? That will cause a leaning effect,

Is it possible that the PCV valves are getting stuck open when the engine gets hot? That will cause a leaning effect, probably more pronounced at low RPM's.

possible.i will be trouble shooting everything i can think of to resolve this issue.i will find the culprit eventually.

EDIT; come to think about it,those pcv hoses ARE dumping extra heat into the front two piston holes.i will do something about this, this weekend and see what my results are for that.

Are the PCVs active? Or are they a standard passive valve on this car?
(I sold my Z, so I don't really have a way to check anymore)
