I put a new cold intake on my car listed above GLS model. I cannot find the hose for the air filter crankcase. It’s a little filter that should go onto a hose. I watched a YouTube video and mine isn’t like the YouTube video... Idk if my car is missing parts or what but this is how it was bought. Also, what is the part called that your engine cap screws onto? I’m thinking I may need to replace that part but idk what it’s called and the hose as well because it’s really flimsy and worn out. I can tell by feeling the hose.

Hi,

The crankcase vent (PCV) is heated and attached between the valve cover (near the oil fill cap) and the air induction tube between the air filter box and the throttle body.

Take a look at the attached picture below and let me know if that is what you are looking for.

Next, I'm not sure what you are referring to when you say engine cap. Do you mean the oil fill cap? If that is the case, it attaches to the valve cover also known as a cylinder head cover.

Let me know if this helps. Also, if you take a few pics of what you are dealing with and upload them for me to see, it may help.

Take care,

Joe
