Default Where'zit go ? - 03-30-2007 , 09:20 AM






2002 BUICK, 3.1 engine;

I was changing the air filter whan I noticed;

A plastic pipe, connected to the top of the ( rubber ) duct
between the filter and the intake manifold;

It goes down behind the engine, and is connected to.... nothing !

It's tight back there !
I can't see a hose or a fitting.

????

Goes into a hole in the rear rocker cover.
It's part of the PCV system.

Thanks for the help.
It was dark, crowded, I could barely get my hand back there.
I felt like a teenager on a first date.
Fortunately, the plastic pipe is "formed",
and I followed it back to a nearby hole.
Pipe's plugged back in....car's happy.... I'm happy.
Thanks for the help.
