Thanks, Larry. Good links. I pulled the air filter and there is no oil in
the box or the filter. The filter is a little dirty, so I suspect it was
replaced at the last inspection a year ago. There is oil around the top of
the engine, so a valve cover gasket is probably worth the effort. I'll also
replace the PCV and make sure the hose is clear.
What about EGR? I know a bad valve can cause running problems, but I am not
very familiar with them.
Thanks again,
