Check that PVC line coming out of the passenger side of the throttle body.

I had a hole on the bottom of that rubber 45 degree elbow. others have the hard plastic line crack in the back.

I have a '99 Sonoma that I was getting a PO300 Code as well as another code (the # escapes me at the moment) which was Crankshaft Position Sensor Intermitent Signal. I replaced the CKP Sensor with a stock GM piece and it seems to be better. Is the PO300 the only code you're getting?

It sounds like your check valve. you can replace it, or swap them from side to side to see if the error changes numbers.

so what codes are you getting?

P0300
P0412
P0418

Is that it, or are there more?

Did you check that elbow? and try swapping the A.I.R. Check Valves?

I don't know if this link will work for you:

But that shows what the check valves look like.

Hey check your crank sensor it on the passenger side above the starter. This happen to me it would run awesome for about 2 sec then have no power. Or it could be your crank sensor.
Also check your airfilter sensor that plugs into your air filer that small one in front of the T.BODY
