DO NOT TAKE YOUR INTAKE OFF. WAY more work than is needed. Look on top of your left (passenger side) valve cover (under the intake). it pulls straight up and you can push it(and the hose) back towards the firewall. then take the old pcv valve out of the hose, put the new one in, then put the pcv back into the valve cover.

In the hole on the valve cover? Could you see or feel the rubber grommet in the hole?

That's the best part, lol. If the grommet is bad I suppose it could shake out when the engine is running. Did it fit pretty snug when you put the new one in?

Mine have never gone on tight, but they did go in snug after I replaced the grommet.
