I pulled the air charge temperature sensor to see what the condition was and it was covered in oil and a gooey total mess.
I am guessing that is probably a reflection of how dirty the throttle body is there.
So how does the throttle body get all nasty like that? Only thing that occurs to me is sucking in some nasty stuff thru the PCV valve.
I recently found the PCV valve to be blocked when grommet was going bad. I am guessing it been that way a long time so any junk was probably pulled in before I got it.
Assuming there isn't another source for the grime in there.
