I was looking at my pcv to see if it was heated or non-heated. Seems to be very very difficult to get a damn pcv valve for a 7 year old mustang. But O'Reilly's asked if it was a heated or non heated. Which I don't understand. If there computer is right than ford put heated pcv's on some GT's and not on some GT's in 2003. I know bullits and mach1's had heated pcv's. But after looking at my pcv I saw a wire plug in into the bottom of it. SO assuming it is heated. But thats not really my question.

The hose that goes from PCV (passenger side valve cover to bottom of plenum is loose) The tube has a metal connection that goes inside the bottom of the plenum next to the IAC sensor. It goes in about an inch. But it is so loose its an obvious air leak right there. But it doesn't screw or anything.

Someone give me some input on this. There price for the assembly with pcv and hose was $40.

The pcv system on these cars is so confusing when ordering these parts since it includes to hoses and technically 2 pcv's on both valve covers.

Just want to know why the connection going into the throttle body is so loose and not tight at all?

Thanks
