Steps
Disconnect the sensor and hose
Switch the engine off and unplug the sensor connector. Free the wiring from its clip, loosen the hose clamps, and twist the hose loose at each connection.
Transfer hose components
Move the clamps, wiring clip, and sensor to the replacement hose if they are not included. Check the sensor seal and hose for damage before installing.
Fit the replacement hose
Seat the hose over the PCV valve, throttle body, and air-filter housing. Align it so it does not kink or rub against nearby parts.
Secure and inspect
Tighten all clamps evenly, reconnect the wiring clip and sensor plug, then start the engine. Check for air leaks and a stable idle.
Check your vehicle’s repair manual for exact specifications and fit.
