Replacing PCV valve/ hose. Tempted to do starter l

Doing the PCV valve, along with the hose.

Because I broke the connector tabs on the hose leading to the front of the intake plenum.

I’m tempted to do the starter...

What do you all think?

I might attempt it if I could get the evap hoses of the EGR valves. They won’t budge.

But I might have found a tool that could help aid in removal. Think these would work from snap on?

Look how uncluttered it is without the TB and wiring harnesses. I found a Chipmunk nest down in the V when I took mine apart haha.

Replaced the pcv hose, and pcv valve today.

Had a tough time with the hose. It didn’t feel like the one that came off the car. I think I should have run the pcv line under the plastic charge pipe closer to the throttle valves. I ran the line directly under the charge pipe where a wire loom is supposed to go. I wish I had looked at pictures I had taken before torquing down the throttle valves.

I’m tempted to re due this. But I’m exhausted from taking off the throttle valves. But my OCD is telling me to do it all over again.

Remove the throttle valves, and idle control valve all in one piece. This way you don’t need to replace the oem hose clamps, and you don’t need to remove gas tank breather valve.

3 hoses required to be remove to do this.
