The engine starts and idles fine, no DTC are present. As I no load increase the throttle the engine begins to misfire at 2900 rpm and will not free rev much higher. If I quickly wide open throttle the engines sounds lean and pops. Where is the port connection to check fuel pressure and do you have any other suggestions based on the run condition Does this system have a mass air flow that could be clogged? Thanks.

Replace the PVC valve, it's probably clogged.

The throttle position sensor may be misaligned. This tells the computer how much throttle is being applied, and when they go bad, or come out of alignment, the idle tends to get up there. If that's not the issue, remove your air cleaner, the housing and everything until you get to the MAP sensor. Give it a good spray with carb cleaner, let it dry and replace the air cleaner with a new one. If the MAP sensor detects minimal air flow, the computer jacks up the idle to compensate.

you need to change the oxygen sensor. it will soon cause you problems. after you need to take it in to erase the code.

remove the aircleaner intake hose and, check the intake air control flap for free movement

there is only one bank on a pt cruiser and yes it could be a fuel pump or a vacuum leak
Ensure all connections are clean and properly tightened.
?€¢
Mass air flow sensor
A mass air flow (MAF) sensor output that causes the PCM to sense a lower than normal air flow will cause a lean condition. Try operating the vehicle within the Failure Records conditions with the MAF sensor disconnected. If the lean or misfiring condition is not present with the MAF sensor disconnected, replace the Mass Airflow Sensor Replacement .
?€¢
Damaged accessory drive belt or driven accessory
A damaged serpentine belt or belt driven accessory can cause engine load variations sufficient to set a misfire DTC.
?€¢
Air induction system
Vacuum leaks that cause intake air to bypass the MAF sensor will cause a lean condition. Check for disconnected or damaged vacuum hoses, incorrectly installed or malfunctioning crankcase ventilation valve, or for vacuum leaks at the throttle body, exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) valve, and intake manifold mounting surfaces.
?€¢
Fuel pressure
Perform a fuel system pressure test. A malfunctioning fuel pump, a plugged filter, or a malfunctioning fuel system pressure regulator will contribute to a lean condition. Refer to Fuel System Diagnosis .
?€¢
Fuel injectors
Refer to Fuel Injector Solenoid Coil Test .
?€¢
Water contamination in the fuel system can cause a single cylinder to misfire as well as cause a random misfire, refer to Alcohol/Contaminants-in-Fuel Diagnosis .
?€¢
EGR system
Check for leaking valve, adapter, or feed pipes which will contribute to a lean condition or excessive EGR flow.
?€¢
Extended idle
Excessive Open Loop operation caused by extended idling or short trip driving may leave deposits on the heated oxygen sensors. The deposits cause oxygen sensors to respond slowly to exhaust oxygen content, affecting fuel control and causing a misfire to be indicated at idle. This condition is not permanent. To determine if this condition is causing the DTC P0300 to set, review the Freeze Frame/Failure Records for DTC P0300. If the DTC P0300 occurs at high engine speeds, the condition described above did not cause the DTC to set. If the DTC P0300 occurs at idle or very low engine speeds and at engine coolant temperatures below 80?°C (176?°F), the condition described above is very likely the cause of the DTC to set. The deposits on the heated oxygen sensors can be eliminated by operating the vehicle fully warm at mass air flows above 15 g/s.

The barometric pressure (BARO)
?€¢
The manifold absolute pressure (MAP)
?€¢
The intake air temperature (IAT)
?€¢
The engine RPM
P0121
The predicted air flow and the predicted MAP combined are outside a calibrated range for more than 3 seconds.
Circuit/System Testing
?€¢
Inspect thoroughly for any type of leak or restriction
?€¢
Air leaks at throttle body mounting area and intake manifold sealing surfaces
?€¢
Throttle body for dirt, debris, and coking--Refer to Throttle Body Cleaning.
?€¢
Increase the engine speed slowly to 3,000 RPM, then back to idle.
?€¢
Exit from the snapshot and review the data.
?€¢
Observe the Mass Air Flow (MAF) Sensor parameter frame by frame with a scan tool. The MAF sensor g/s should change smoothly and gradually as the engine speed is increased and is returned to idle.
?‡'
If the MAF sensor g/s does not change smoothly and gradually as the engine speed is increased and is returned to idle, refer to DTC P0101 or P1101.
?€¢
Broken throttle shaft
?€¢
Any throttle body damage
?‡'
If any of these conditions exist, replace the throttle body assembly.
