Oil system breather or what? (Pic) & ?'s
Okay freaks, this is driving me ape ****. So the hose in the picture? is that hooked up right? is that where it is sposed to go? Cause here is my problem;
I have left that hose unhooked for a long *** time, cause when I hook it up, the damn car smokes like a bomb, and fouls the plugs with oil ... it's not right, thats for sure.
but, when I leave it unhooked.. at high rpm's it sparys oil all over the engine bay, and it's getting rather messy.
help here plz, whats the deal??
Thanks Again,
Robert

That goes to the purge valve. It is used as a crack case vet/srecirculation. Tht in cunjuntion with the charcoal canister.

Okay i offically broke the pice of ****. I was trying to take it apart to find out how it works, one way valve or what? well the old *** plastic snapped. So, what does this thing do? what is the idea of it? can it be bypassed, or do I need to order another one?
BTW, I could blow threw it either way, so I assume it was not working anyways. some insight please>?

Well, I ended up pluging up both the lines that go to the vacuum spider (the small lines) and put a filter on the end of the breather line. No smoke, no spray so far... and no ill effects from plugging both of those lines off. I thought about linking the 2, (how they were on the regulator) but it had a real small hole, so i figured a direct link would be too much flow for whatever it does.
hmmf,.
we shall see.

Well one last thing, Here is what I did; The red is where I put caps just to block off vacuum leaks. The blue is where I put on a breather filter. Everything seems to be working just fine... solid throttle responce, no leaks or anything. I would just like to know if anyone see's any long term affects to this? I assume this is all just emissions BS, but some reasurance would be nice. Thanks.

That means it takes fumes from the gas tank and the block and routes them to the intake via a check valve.
I ditched the whole system when I removed my emissions equipment and routed both vents, oil filler neck and top of block, to a mini catch tank.

Disreguard, I'm **** so i went to pick and pull and got another pressure valve. The good news is; I know something was wrong with my original one I broke, this one the diaphram works perfect and you can tell when blowing into it, that it's working right compared to the other.
