    The valve is supposed to be lodged in the lower intake in a black grommet. It typically doesn't fit snugly for crap though since the rubber is all dried out. They still sell the grommet though, so you can get a new one, put a little ultra black around the lip inside and out and shove it in the lower intake and put the pcv in the middle. Let the RTV cure and it'll stay put.

      If I can find the motivation, I might pick up some from work and see what can be done with it. I've busted the vacuum feed from the intake to the EGR solenoid and have it repaired with rubber vacuum line, but it would be worth a shot. Got other things to work on, and the current configuration is working, so it's not high on the priority list.

      FWIW, I've always liked how neat the '90 and '91 engine bays are. Much less of a mess of wire harnesses and vacuum lines running every direction.

        So I took a pic of the back of the intake. To confirm this is wrong? Lower intake hose is going to the vacuum tree in the fire wall (circled in blue)

        Above it circled in yellow is the other vacuum line. Is that supposed to be the line plugged into the vacuum tree on the fire wall?

          So that hose in blue needs to connect to what you have circled. Plastic firewall mounted tree to metal intake pipe tree.

          The PCV valve goes to the intake where your blue one was.

            Thank you! Appreciate you holding my hand through the process , short bus kid lol.

            Part of the Problem; which I just relized, was the female end where the PVC plugs into the intake was missing. So I was baffled where it plugged into! I found the female sleeve popped off behind the intake. I reattached the female plastic sleeve to the intake, swapped the hoses, and good to go. Much Obliged.

                  We all have to learn somewhere. We'll get you on the long bus eventually.
