PCV problem..help!

well got a new PCV vavle…and was reading about in the helms so then i looked in the engine bay to see exactly where it was…touched the hose that connects to it…and snap the pcv valve broke in half…so i have have of the PCV in the IM…now i cannot get this damn thing out…my 2 only other thought were to get a bit extractor and see if i can get the rest of the plastic out of there or take the whole IM off…any suggestions?

I’m thinking about just taking off the IM cleaning it out but those bolts underneath it look tricky

just replaced mine while swapping, it was a PITA

thing comes up through the manifold and then the valve plugs into it from the top. So if yours is already off, just push the rest down through the hole. I replaced the lower hose portion at the same time, probably gonna be a good idea.

hth :smiley:

i dont know im just thinking to take the IM off cause i may have dropped some plastic down there…and im sure it could use a good cleaning at 160k

yeah, i’d recommend
