Hey guys been having idle issues and poor fuel economy. Took off my iac today and some oil was coming out as soon as I loosened the screws. Is this normal? What could cause it if not. Thanks

PCV good? If so maybe someone here will kick in with another possible theory.

Unless someone has a better idea I'd clean the IAC (or replace if old), the channels it bolts to and replace the PCV. Make certain any and all PCV hoses are new or really clean. See where you are at then.

same reason it gets in the throttlebody. lack of baffle under pcv of the lower intake, mixed with small amount of blowby.

Change the filter under the PCV. Cleaning it doesn't usually work out so well. Replace the rubber grommet too, and put a bit of sealer on it to make sure its sealed in the intake well. If none of that helps, it could indicate that the motor is tired and has blowby. There is no fix for this short of rebuilding it, so if it runs well, ignore the problem or add in an oil seperator to collect the oil and keep it out of the throttle body.86 Lincoln Town Car (Galactica).

Sounds like a lot of blow by or just clogged pcv

Maybe a new filter below the PVC would help. As I recall that was the second time I cleaned it1989 crown Vic daily driver 165k and counting!
