Degunk the bosch idler valve. Remove the plastic housing over the throttle cable housing pully/linkage. You will also expose this idler valve and associated plumbing from crankcase. It gets fouled bad with oil residue and will hang up. This is an electro/mech solenoid and when cleaned should function with an slight audible "tick" sound as it cycles. Stay away from trich based solvents, use Isopropyl or mineral spirits and a swab. This component allows reingest of bypass gases into the throttle body for reburn and checks blurbo duct pressure from back flowing into engine. May not be sole cause of over pressured crankcase but certainly a contributing factor. Here's where frequent oil changes pay off. Reduced internal crud factor.

keep em running, nothing like um.
