    Hello so I took apart the throttle body to get it cleaned and I noticed a lot of filthy gunk coming from the evap vacuum port that I believe to be excessive, maybe it was never cleaned and it’s normal or there could be a different problem causing it.

    I linked the routing map and it’s port P

    I believe it could be the hose that goes into the air filter box was busted for awhile but it shouldn’t be sucking in air since the valve should be closed when the vehicle is on, from what I understand. The hose on the diagram that says “From Air Cleaner”

    The hose to throttle body carries accumulated EVAP gasses from the charcoal cannister. This happens when the cannister Purge valve opens.
    Although the air going to the cannister is filtered through the air filter the EVAP Purge can be contaminated by over filling the fuel tank repeatedly allowing raw fuel to flood the cannister and degrade the normally dry charcoal.

    Hi! Same engine here, had the same dirty throttle body. If I remember correctly, in my case the pcv valve had been stuck open for some time and needed replacement. It was shooting crankcase gunk into the throttle body post throttle plate.
