Well its a 91 gm and ive had an issue with the engine not running good with ac on. Also it was overheating on a 500 mile trip over the weekend. In the past 6 months i replaced the fan cluch, thermostat, coolant flush, egr, iac, distributer rebuild including tfi module, plugs and wires, cap and roter, maf, transmission, puter. Im sure im missing something here. Anymays i took off the plenum to chack the vac lines and change the pcv valve and there is no screen in the pcv hole. Will i be making a mistake by not putting a screen in there?

I ran mine without a screen for about 6 months. When I took the upper off for something, the oil was literally pouring out of it. I put a screen in and never had that happen again. Replace the rubber grommet while you're in there if its not soft. Once they turn hard, they do not seal properly anymore.86 Lincoln Town Car (Galactica).
