I think that's the pcv valve, if you look closely to your mani, there's a hole between the last two injectors. put the valve back in the hole and you should be set.

yeah right now with that unplugged, you have a vaccum leak, which is why your idle is bouncing up and down.

while you have it apart is a good time to replace the PCV valve if it is clogged

well it seem 08 just isnt gonna be my year.... just got back from discount and while lookin at my tranny i c this...

Image

looks like a pretty decent amount of oil on th front and side of the tranny.

so i jack the car up for a couple mins literally.. and notice this on the ground.

Image

so then i take the car off the jack and take a further look at my tranny and in my bay and then i c this...

Image

a crap load of oil all over the rear of the tranny toward the fire wall. i looks to becoming from where the rear of the tranny meets the motor block. and for the front of the tranny seems 2 be coming from the motor block and head but alot ALOT slower than the other...

ok so i went to buy the o ring today and put it on and while i was at it i went ahead and changed my Tranny fluid.. but here is the problem i put the o ring on and re mounted the distributor and the car still leaks oil just alot slower! now another thing is that when i started the car up it started up really really low and hard. so sinnce it was still leaking oil slowly when the car was on / off i turned it off took the dizzy off again and on the very bottom i c this.....

white arrow = new o ring
red arrow = isnt there something that needs to be in that whole??
