Do you mean pcv? as in crankcase ventilation? If so, it is recirculated from the valve cover into the intake if I'm not mistaken, and there is no valve or small filter thing

Our cars do not use a traditional pcv valve. It uses baffles and a restrictor built into the valve cover.

NECROBUMP whats the diameter of that hose? I cleaned my throttle yesterday and noticed my OEM one is ripped a bit on the intake side. We can just replace with a fuel line or something?

Am I allowed to go the cheap route and just use the same diameter fuel hose instead of the OEM part? Recommendations? I dont see why anyone would pay 14 bucks for a short run of rubber hose...

Any fuel/oil resistant rubber will work. 3/8 inch looks like about right.

You are paying for the person that bent it holding a heat gun.

Fuel line may not be adequate, but PCV line would be for sure. PCV line is rated for vacuum, negative pressure, you wouldn't want the line to collapse. Fuel line is rated for positive pressure, so it doesn't burst. Being that it connects outside of the throttle body, probably not a lot of negative pressure, it's your call. I know autozone has both in bulk.

It's your ride, any neoprene fuel compatible hose will work , I used 3/8 ID fuel line for this, without incident.
