I have had PVC issues in the past, but there is something else causing the fouling of the valve. I know Harvey explained it to us once but damned if I can remember.

It doesn't happen when you start it but when you pull out of the garage? If that is the case, I would suspect IACV which, from my understanding, is what takes over when the engine warms up versus when the car has just been started and is still very cold.
