[Chrysler300] pcv valves on 300s and stall issues?



My internet access is still not good, and only able to get on sometimes, so if I have missed or not yet seen this suggestion, my apologies.
 
>From memory, some cars used a restricted size/diameter/hole/fitting where the rubber/flexible vaccuum hose for the pcv comes off the motor. Unless the hole is right size, this may change carb/gas mixtures at low down rev ranges.
 
And when chasing lean mixture, or stalling causes, a simple good idea can be to temporarily block off any/all vacuum related things where they come off the motor, to see if it makes any difference.
 
So the question I ask, or pose, if no one else has suggested it, TRY BLOCKING OFF THE PCV SOURCE TEMPORARILY.
Use a correct generic rubber block off stopper, or even anything real safe (like a short large bolt) into hose end where the PCV end plugs in, and then go for a trash/drive/burn round the block with the motor warm obviously.
 
If no diffference, it likely is not the PCV causing your problem.  (Obviously if your car has power disc brakes, blocking off booster vacuum tempoarily like this is not a good idea to then do same test drive, unless one first realises ones brakes will need a bloody good hard push to even work quarter reasonable - you may find out how poorly when you hit garage wall or door before you even get out your drive!!? )
 
 
Christopher in Australia where our 2nd oldest car manufacturer (Ford) is cutting back production by near 25%, this atop a few months ago saying it is ceasing motor manufacture in 18 months.   When a car maker announces it will need to import it's engines, you know things look bad - now it looks like Ford's days here are really numbered, leaving GM and Toyota, and GM here (Holden) iis only viable due to exports to Asia and Middle East (and now also to US via Pontiac G8), and who wants to bet how long that will, last once China and India get car manufacture going properly.  Ford will be building now only just above 50,000 cars annually, well below minimum number for survival by most industry norms.
But good news is it is sunny morning outside - maybe a '300 driver day'
