Ok so, I decided I would clean up the leaves n crap that got in my engine bay when I noticed this...

Now my car has had a low running idle after warming up since i got it about a month ago, and Im wondering if this may be the cause? also it looks like oil is in it is that normal? its not leaking out of it, instead just seems to be sitting in there. my oil pressure goes way down after warm up as well but the engine itself doesnt make any noise and it seems to be the oil pressure sensor misreading according to the local mechanic.

And looks like ill be picking up a new TPS as you can see..its missing a piece on both screw holes

mine has always read low oil pressure for the past 6 yrs and no problems.
as for the hoes, just replace it wit ha new one.

ladies 95 i work on has ~10psi at idle. has since she bought it. 256000 and still ticking. the PCV hose will definitely cause idle issues.

thanks guys, I cut and put a new one on within an hour.. the end going into the top of the valve cover is just an elbow joint as you see in the picture.. thats how its supposed to be right?

was there any difference in oil pressure or idle when you replaced it?

I havnt been able to drive it long enough to let it warm up enough (thats when it usually does it) but the gauge seemed to stop bouncing like it was.

Didn't the hose have two different sized diameters? Or is that just one long hose from the throttle body to the PCV valve?

Naw your thinking of the one directly under that one, this one is one size.

So I drove it to the gym and then to work, and the car seems to breath way better than it did, and the oil pressure sits where it should as I can see at about 10-12 psi at warm.. all seems well
