I changed a friend's timing belt and in order to do that had to take the head off of course. When I started the car it would rev up and I figured it was because of a vacuum leak. Found a hose that goes from the top right of the intake manifold, under the fuel rail, and through a hole in the middle of the intake manifold near the head. I don't know where this hose goes through or how to reach it so can't put it back on.

Anyone know where it goes?

It's a d16y8.

hm can i just plug it up? it's looking like a pain in the *** to get to...

I wouldn't recommend plugging hte PCV line up...that's used for (PLEASE correct me if I'm wrong because I'm not 100 percent) venting the crankcase/oil. A lot of times for example with the PCV gets plugged up or broken the driver has problems with the car running properly. That's just generally my .02. I was always under the impression it's one of the more important things that you can't just have *** anything on. Good luck!

just plug it back in or else ur gonna have other problems including oil squirting all over the place

u can reach it from under the car
might as well change ur oil at the same time since ur gonna be there anyway

kill 2 birds with 1 stone

well we got it timed right and everything, would the loose vacuum plug cause it to run ROUGH?

Correct me if I'm wrong but You don't have to take your head off to change a timing belt... Im confused..

Jorsher

no you dont, after i changed my own cars headgasket/timingbelt/etc i helped a friend change his. In order to change the headgasket you do need to remove the head.

If i read it correctly you said the timing belt. But yes you need the pcv valve, it helps recirculate gases to my knoledge. all i know is you need it


The Positive Crankcase Ventilation valve, or PCV valve, is a one-way valve that ensures continual refreshment of the air inside a gasoline internal combustion engine's crankcase.
