A PCV valve stuck closed will cause rough idle, the MAP sensor (Manifold Absolute Pressure) gets confused from a conflicting signal from the MAF (Mass Air Flow) sensor because of no air entering intake from PCV. Stuck open, no. The vacuum from PCV is supposed to be measured by the MAF, as it is air going in plenum.
