long technical problem please help!!!

[FORZDA 1]

where is the pcv valve?

As you're standing facing the engine, pretty much at the top rear of the upper intake manifold is a hose that immediately angles downwards on an angle towards the firewall and behind the EGR valve. The hose is about 8" long and curves downwards towards the cam cover.

there are 3 houses, 2 big ones and 1 small one. so are u talking about the small one?

Someone had a similar problem you have. it was due to wrong gapping on the spark plugs. Did you recently change your spark plugs? You may want to check that.

The PCV hose has a 90 deg bend, and has "ribs" on it, and goes downwards to the engine. It connects to the PCV valve which is attached to the engine. It has a small clip that holds it in so be careful not to break it.

yes i did but i got the right gaps, i got NGK Iridiums

Plug gap can cause a misfire, but NOT the lean off idle code. The two are not connected other than I think the PCV valve/hose was damaged when replacing the plugs....

its written ribs on it? is it plastic or metal?

Did some research and this problem seems to be due to the CAI, try installing your stock intake and see what happens. you may need a computer tune for your CAI

 

[jms-msp]

your car is programmed for certain criteria, so changing anything may result in a malfunction reading from your computer. Your computer is constantly diagnosing the settings on the car so your computer probably recognizes it’s getting too much air from the zoom zoom intake. Which is why its it lean

Ha Ha! No, the ribs are physical, not written... LOL It is rubber to the manifold nipple and hard plastic at the PCV valve.

Dude, please refrain from posting if you're just quoting s*** you've read about. Maybe you want to read this entire thread and get up to speed on th eproblem? Thanks.

rubbers, ribs, nipples, and hard. this post is getting steamy! lol

Did you review the data logs the OP posted up earlier? Obviously not so STFU. Thanks.

hey calm down, it's worth a shot. not everything has to be soo complicated. i'm just trying to help, isn’t what this forum is for? for God sakes you are talking to a guy that can't even locate a pcv on his engine.

No it isn't "worth a shot" dumbass. We're well past that simple s***.... and you're posting irrelavant s*** to distract him further. This forum is for whatever I want it to be so STFU, again....

 

[jms-msp]

lol, yeah ok, you're right. i read your post, and i understand.

Sorry as I have no contribution to you fixing your problem however, I'm sure if anyone can get you going it's Forzda. I just found that a little humorous as well Good luck, and that little clip is a bi%$# to get off so be careful.

so i took off the battery and check it and went all the way down and i dont see any crack or any sort.i also tighted all the bolts on the air intake manifold and everythign seems dandy and i reset the code but it went on again, same CEL code

Well, unfortunately you've missed the root cause somewhere along the way. The CEL is indicating the AFR is too lean on that right bank when you're driving the car and IMO the sensor data looks valid. Soooo, I'm thinking you may have cracked the intake manifold during your spark plug changing fiasco. I would need to re-inspect everything myself or you could take it to a trusted mechanic. Be aware that they will likely change out a lot of parts before they fix it and claim every one of them was "bad". Good Luck!....
