So out of my pcv valve, my catch can has caught an enormous amount of oil/gases and has nearly filled up in just 2 days. out of the top of the lil valve next to the tb, on top of the valve cover next to cylinder 4, gases are coming out of that as well. anybody kno wat is goin on ?

also, earlier this morning, my exhaust was blowing out a lot of smoke, couldnt tell what color it was.

are you low on oil? all that oil in your catch can had to have come from somwhere, so I'd keep an eye on that. can you take a picture of the valve you're talking about that has gasses coming out of it? I still don't understand what you're talking about, lol.

also, the hose you plugged is apparently for the "A/C idle-up valve" but it also says it's on california cars only... which confuses me.

overheating could be a lot of stuff. I'm pretty sure the thermostat opens at 180 degrees. but if you tapped your ECT gauge off the upper radiator hose, that's the return to the radiator, meaning the coolant there has already passed over the hot engine so it should be hotter than 180 degrees. if your stock gauge isn't reading higher than halfway, I wouldn't be worried. just check that the level hasn't gone down any.

as for the smoke, I'd check that you don't have oil in your coolant or coolant in your oil. I doubt you have a blown head gasket, but it doesn't hurt to check.
