I would start by checking the DME for fault codes. If the system is not working properly, a fault code will be set.
You could have a vacuum leak or a faulty crankcase breather valve. I would check both, inspect the engine for a cracked intake boot, vacuum line or leaking gasket. You can also check the crankcase vacuum, this will help you diagnose the crankcase breather valve. - Nick |
