Yepper, sure does. That's what we do when we're trying to find a vacuum
leak(s).

Wes,
    Have you pulled the throttle body and cleaned the IAC and the throttle
body good. Your IAC may be dirty and causing the vacuum to be excessive on
the crankcase breather. If you plug the vacuum line from the PCV the IAC
should compensate for the lack of idle air your getting thru the PCV.
    Try this, remove the line on the opposite valve cover and plug the
opening in this valve cover with a piece of cardboard and see if the engine
draws a vacuum on the crankcase.
    Ron, Bernd and everybody else, Does this sound logical???????
Honestly, I've never run into something like this. Maybe someone else on the
list has some insight into this. Bill
