I also have a short drive to work so may not be getting warm enough to get rid of the moisture in the engine.

You might consider lengthening your drive, because this doesn't do your engine or your battery any favor...

I agree, take an extra 5 miles or something and get it fully warmed up...

Just jam a little SuperTramp!

Talked to a guy in Phoenix that runs a shop working primarily on Camaro and Corvette and i asked him about a catch can and the advice he gave me was look inside the throttle body and if it is dry don't get one and if you see oil residue then buy one. My 2011 ss was dry and i have not checked my 2017.

I removed my catch can from my car. Vehicle had started acting crazy.
Driving about 40 mph, nose of the car drops like it jumped into neutral engine runs up to about 3000 rpms and than drops back into gear, does this several more times over the next 5-10 minutes. Reached my destination pulled in and parked it. It also did the same thing in reverse as well as drive. Could a vacuum leak from the catch can cause something like this?

After removing the catch can and reinstalling the stock hose from crankcase to intake the following day everything seemed alright.

Car is at the dealership now, they said they want to keep it for observation.

Thoughts. The can was a mishimoto installed per the video. there was a bit of oil and water in the can when I removed it.
