I guess I don't know exactly what I should try to do next. I suppose I could go buy a can of carb cleaner and spray it all over under the hood and see if there are any vacuum leaks and/or hook up my vacuum gauge and see what it says. So, if I have excessive blow-by, what does that mean? My rings are going bad? What will happen if I just run it with pcv hose un-hooked? I realize it makes a major vacuum leak, but it seems to run good that way. Well damnit...its back to not starting or running at all!! I am at a total loss with this thing.
