So I decided to do my PCV valve today sence It didnt look like it had been done in a while. And when I get it out its not in good shape. So I change it and as im playing with the PCV hose on the back of the engine I notice it feel Squished.
Basicly the hose had collapsed and I ended up replacing it. Car runs much better now :lol:
Any one eles ever had that happen?

if you follow the hose it connect to a metal line. It just a streight line and it is preety short. Anyway follow it and you will find it turns back into a rubber elbo that connects to the front right of the engine. ( if your standing infront of the car) Pull the elbo off and there is the PCV valve.
The engine is running bad with the hose like that because ever time you step in the gas that hose gets sucked shut due to vaccume pressure.
As for the hose lol it wasnt so much a tip as me trying to get this stupid car running good lol.

Yes, where the tube plugs into the oil seperator is where your PCV Valve is.

U pull the elbow off and under it is the PCV valve. It should just pull/pop out.
Ford the record I spoke with ford about getting the stock hose replaced. aparently its around 40bux :o
Its a form molded hose so no one is just gona have it. You can make shift yourself a new hose sence its different on each end. Thats what i did.

Since 00 and 03 are different I ordered a newer style 00 hose and the PCV valve , my price is a bit less the $30.00 for both. I will put the hose I took off my 03 back in and I'm seriously thinking about swapping the Intake Manifold from my 00 to my 03 since it's a better intake ( according to many forums ) . My 03 is the toy and the 00 the daily driver so good stuff goes on the 03... :P
