possible pcv issues
so when driving along about 50-55 let off the gas it seems to take too ling to come back down to idle. stays about 1500 rpm
noticed a air suction sound till it does finally drop. I have replaced the iac valve. it was making a chattering sound and would idle up then drop to real low then about normal. was wondering if the pcv valve would have anything to do with this. I noticed the hose was on the older side. maybe when warmed up its choking out the vacuum that it needs. trucks an 03 4.6 |

It's hard to see, but you may have a hole in the hose back there. The hose is just plain neoprene hose and should be reinforced like fuel hose so it would last longer. |

Sounds like a large vacuum leak from those symptoms, not a choked vacuum.

Think i have found my problem (possibly) the Electric Vacuum Regulator. This seams to be where my vacuum sound is coming from.
when i let off the gas when driving. (When i do it feels like the throttle is still open for a while) |

I had this same issue and it ended up being the PCV. I had a hole in one of the elbows. I replaced the entire assembly and it's been done ever since.

well it not idling high, somewhere between 700-800 at idle (after a 30 min. drive at 50-55mph) hard to tell exact number on the factory tach.
the only problem is when Im driving and it sounds like the EVR does when you shut the truck off. when you let off the gas (like the throttle doesnt shut like it should) |
