it has what is called ccv vavle on the back of vavle cover remove hose to it and turn the vavle off and clean it possibly with large paper clip pull off plastic tubing carefully and make sure air passes through them there is a small notch and bigger notch on it after you turn it to right position should pull up and off also do the one in front connected to the air box and clean it to

I have the same problem with my 89 4.0 but it usally only happend when 4 wheelin or onetime when i was towing 2 quads on my trailer going up a hill about 2 miles long on rt17 upstate NY. other than that it never happens when normal driving. so when i wheel i unplug the hose at the connector by the airbox. i guess a temp solution but it works for me now.

i have that same problem, its the large vent hose at the front of your valve cover that hooks to your air box lid. i pulled my hose off and ran it to a spot that was away from everything and attached a cheap autozone breather to to then capped off the hole in the air box

when i got my 89 i noticed the same problem i figured it was blow by some what normal if your oil hasnt been changed in awhile and carbon clogs things up or something i just took off the pcv hose at the vaccum harness end the grommet end at the block with some brake clean idk if that actually helped i think when i changed my oil and filter and air filter the problem went away i also cleaned my throttle body as well the hose that goes to my air box. I might look into blocking off the hole one guy suggested

I just put one of those small breather filters were the line comes out of the valve cover and put a ram air filter on it
goes a bit better for it now but my air filter was stuffed from so much oil

the hose at the front of the valvecover is to pull out the crank case pressure when running the small line at the back is for when you are at connstant speed at idle
