CiViC I2aCeI2

After reading about the breather i realized it was bad for your enigne unless your going turbo. The previouse owner of the car had install the breather (not sure how long it's been on there). However, I know how to remove it, but there's a problem. The blue hose from the intake that's suppose to connect to the valve cover is connected to another hose(right below the intake) that lead it to the enigne(right above the injector). I'm not sure if I can disconnect the blue hose and plug it in to the valve cover? I will take pic later, if you don't know what i'm talking about...

This hose is suppose to connect to the valve cover where the breather is at..Right?

But it's connected to another hose.... and the hose lead to the engine(above the fuel injector)

This is where the hose lead to....

I was wondering if I can disconnect that connection and plug it to the valve cover?



Please help...Thanks!

?!?!

You need that connection to pass emissions, it's recirculating fumes back through the engine so that they're not escaping into the air. I believe it's connected to the PCV as well, either that or the purge solenoid. Can't remember off the top of my head without pics.

well having the tube from intake---to the VC is the correct place to have it. so I would say do it.
But i can't figure-out where the other hose is going? is it going into the pcv on the back of the head or what? Can you post a pic of where the other side of the hose leads to?

not trying to steel the thread, but why is a breather bad?
