Hey everybody. I have a 1996 Kia, that I use for work. I run the miles up on it as I travel alot. As it is, I have some mechanical problems with it, and in the middle of repairs.

There is this part, that I can not find what it's called. It is a very small hose that has a hard insert, that connects to a metal stem on the topside of the valve cover, behind the oil filler cap. I'm thinking it is the pvc and connector? But I can not find a photo of it for description anywhere. I have the shop manual for the kia, but it doesn't define it either.

This piece is broken, so that it will not connect to the stem any longer. As a result, my Kia is running rough and sounds like crap. Think it may be part of the vacumn also.

Any help would be appreciated. You can email me direct at [email protected]

Thanks.

You are correct. It is PCV valve. And since it is broken you have a large vacuum leak which is why the engine is running poorly.

Thanks AxeMan,

I thought I was right. But wanted to make sure. The parts for this SUV are fairly expensive. Shhot the pvc alone is 30.00. LOL... Just wanted to be certain.

Thanks again

Mic

Hello,

a part that you asking about is PCV. At PEPBOYS it cost about 3-4 dollars.

Ti is relatively easy to replace it.
