ok what i originaly thought was oil in my plenum was actually Power Steering Fluid.
it didnt look like 40w oil but i didnt know that it was possiable for ps fluid to get into the intake untill now.
well the problem im haveing is the truck idles like runs rough and very rich.
last year i replaced the o2 sensor but am guessing that maybe after that much ps fluid ran thru it that its probably shot? no CEL codes though. any thoughts? i also took my VMAF? off and took it apart to clean those "wires" and relized that the 3.0 doesnt use them.

The best thing to do is remove the air valve and put a plug in place of it and cap off the vacuun lines. It would also be a good idea to remove and clean the throttle body and upper intake, its probably full of power steering fluid.

i knw this valve can cause a ton of problems when it goes bad the pn i believe is 17630 16040
and is 80$ id replace it ive got a spare power steering pump i just bought the rebuild kit and im gonna put the valve on there too when i swap it out .. ive heard it will cause white smoke out the tail pipe too
