I don’t ever really take brakes tbh. I usually just keep it truckin, but with it being 90 today, I’m definitely not complaining lol.

This is the 2003 3.0 V6, I’ve had her for a little over three years now. The last few months she’s been having a rough idle. When first starting her up, you basically have to start driving asap to get the engine to heat up. If you don’t, it ends up stalling out/dying.

So far I’ve cleaned both the throttle body and the maf sensor. Neither have fixed the issue unfortunately. With the codes I ran, I’m assuming it may be some kind of vacuum leak. I feel like the PCV valve may be the culprit, only due to the elbow piece under the hood looking a bit weird. It doesn’t have any visible holes or cracks, but it almost looks collapsed?

The main two codes I’m referring to are P0174 and P0171. I have seven other codes as well, I will list them below.

P0442
P2195
P2197
P0456
P0300
P0301
P0316

I’m honestly just praying and hoping I can figure out what’s wrong with her. She was/is my first vehicle and I don’t want to have to get rid of her if the fix is affordable/easy enough for me to do.
