Well i was going to seafoam the car today and was trying to get the hose unclamped. Needless to say as many of you probably know it's crammed behind and underneath the strut bar and other pipes/hoses that make it complicated to get at when it's only 30 degrees out. While i was in the process of trying to get an open hose to feed the seafoam the connector on the valve cover came popped up and out. Anytime i'd try work the hose connections on the line it would pop that connector out of the valve cover. Is it normal for that to come out that easily or is that a problem? Every time it happened i'd just put it back in the hole and finally gave up when i couldn't feel my hands anymore.

Heres a picture of what im talking about

I would venture to say it's not normal for the PCV to pop out that easily. It should be a snug fit. Perhaps somebody used some sort of lubricant when changing it last or something.

Would a place like autozone have replacement parts for it or would you recommend somewhere else?

Pull the PCV valve out and just rub your finger around the rubber grommet on the valve cover.. see if it feels very slippery. If so, just wipe it with a paper towell or shop rag. A parts store would have the PCV valves, but the rubber gromet is probably only available from Ford.

Don;t forget your local junk yard if that's all you need! You will probably get that little part for free!
