Definitely sounds like the crankcase vents and or vacuum lines are not connected properly.

We put the half-moon back and it's staying in place, but now the car is bucking under 3000 rmp.  Over that it runs smooth.  Idle is now significantly lower than before (it used to be too high) and uneven.  No codes whatsoever.
