Product Details

Common Problems This Hose Can Address

• Cracked or brittle crankcase breather hose
• Vacuum leaks in the PCV or oil separator-to-intake path
• Oil vapor routing issues caused by a damaged hose
• Check engine light concerns related to emission system leaks
• Rough idle or drivability issues tied to crankcase ventilation faults

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the hose routing and end connections before installation. This EMH217 uses clip-on ends and molded OE-style geometry, so the intake-side and PCV or oil separator-side connections must match the vehicle layout exactly. Inspect adjacent plastic fittings and quick-connect points for wear, and replace any damaged mating components before installing the new hose.
