PCV valve

Post by smredsox »

So after I pulled my intake tube off and put it back on, the tube that is attached to the PCV broke off. My question is, what is that tube connected to at the bottom? It looks like its connected to manifold of some sorts. And is it important for me to connect it back up?

Thanks

I broke that too when I first got my car. It is actually important. Going to need to go to the dealer and order all the parts (hoses, f pipe, etc so 1,2,3,4. ).

It's connected to the block. There's a port on the top of the block. You can see it in this picture.

Your biggest source of oil vapor is going to be from the crankcase, so you'd want something after 4, and before 3 & 5.
