I removed the throttle body plastic hose and wiped it down, it was not in terrible condition but there are two spots on it I couldn’t clean of. Forgot to take a pic of it.
You were right I tried starting the car with the throttle body plastic hose off, the engine died within a minute and threw off the check engine light. After I put it back on and had about 4 drive cycles the check engine light turned back off
These catch can kits are crazy in pricing, do we really need this or would an annual CRC cleaning suffice? I drive less than 5k a year on this car.
Thanks again for all your guidance. I’m super happy I was able to do this myself instead of paying the dealer which is unreliable to begin with

Yea, map sensor detects manifold vacuum and pressure. So removing it and then introducing a vacuum leak would definitely mess with the pcm's ability to adjust for it.
The LTG engine probably needs a catch can more than all the other engines. The problem is the mishimoto one is the only one that actually addresses all of the pcv system. All the other ones route the CCV (crankcase vent) system, and ignore the pcv valve port that goes directly from the intake manifold into the valve cover.
