I was experiencing a 2000 rpm idle on my 4.7 and after using brake cleaner to find my vacuum leak, i found out that my pcv tube was torn completely and was clamped on with metal bracket in the WAY back. It took me over two pain-staking hours with major hand cramping and abrasions to my hands and arms. I hugged my motor and used "feel" to cut away the excess tubing after removing the clamp. I will buy the part you recommended tomorrow and edit my response once I have fixed my high idle. I believe you are going to save my butt from spending a bunch of otherwise unnecessary money...Thank you!!! I really appreciate you making this video and being honest about the PAIN it took to fix this issue. My pain was exactly as you described... BACK DOWN to 600-700 RPM!! You are a HERO, my guy. Thanks a million.

I know it has been said here many times but I have to say it again, you are a life saver! Thank you for taking the time to share. It is a personal victory when you finally get that sucker off the back of that manifold. On my 07 ram I got it off from the passenger side with a pick tool that is bent in a 90 degree hook at that end. It stabbed into the rubber hose enough to pry it off. It just takes a ton of patience and a whole lot of "I will not let this thing beat me attitude." A 20 year old me would of got out the big hammer and made room to get it out. Old man me has learned patience.and wisdom. Any way like most people that get this repair done I had to tell somebody besides my dog how great it felt to finally get it done. The wife would of just said "that's great honey." She just doesn't get the feeling like you will. Thank you again sir and madam you guys are great!

Very thanks mister !!! I'm french but i have a 2007 Dodge Durango 4.7L. And I have the same problem. I had changed all in my car (valv EGR and PCV, Intake Air Temperature Sensor, Throttle Position Sensor, Idle Air Regulator (RAR) Solenoid Valve, Intake Manifold Absolute Pressure Sensor). And the idle was still too high... And yet, I had seen your video from the start. But I didn't believe it. After several failures, I felt the elbow but it seemed clean to me. I took my car to JEEP which reduced me by 500 € without finding anything !! Out of desperation, I bought € 300 a machine that sends out smoke to test the hose. And it was the elbow of the PCV valve !!!!!! In short, I lost 1000 € for 1 elbow at 2 € ... Thank you anyway. Thanks to your video, I was able to have the reference. Otherwise, I couldn't find her on rockauto ...

Easiest way on a ram is to remove the hood latch so it’s easier to lay on the engine and get both hands on the nipple then use a razor blade to make a slit in the remaining piece of hose. Wear gloves and it’s an easier job. Thanks again

Thanks so much for this. It was absolutely the main problem on my single mom friends Durango, and I would never have known to check it if not for your video. Just for others to know, we replaced the elbow like you did, and then the thing would not idle at all, but just died if you didn't hold down the gas pedal some. If you held it down lightly, it idled down low, so we knew we had fixed the main problem. To make a long story short (after wasting $50 on a TPS she didn't need) I stumbled onto (actually an answer to a desperate prayer) the fact that the IAC wiring plug wasn't plugged in well. I pushed and pushed but I couldn't get it to snap in. Finally I whacked it and I heard it snap in and viola it was fixed :) One thing I struggled with that you left out of your video, the "hose" that connects to the elbow is not a "hose" but a plastic "formed" tube. I wanted to replace it, but I couldn't find a part # for it? Thanks again

Mine had a clamp on it, so instead of pulling the manifold, here is what I did. I went to the auto parts store and got a rubber valve stem for a wheel. I took off the cap off the valve stem and plugged the hole with it at the back of the intake. It's a good fit. Right or wrong, it took 5 min. The only thing I removed was the hose from the brake booster to the throttle body. I spent 4 hours trying to get that clamp off. Idle dropped below 1000 rpms. This is not advice, just the rig that worked for me.

The feeling of fixing a car issue is so great. We have a Dodge Durango that started running horribly. It jumps up and down in RPMs at idle. Stalling, etc. spark plugs were bad and gapped at different sizes. That helped. Cleaned the map sensor and took off the throttle position sensor, that made it worse. Hoping the “made it worse” was just the air leak rearing it’s head. There’s hoses connected to the air filter that are brittle at the ends that we plan to replace. Going to check this back hose as well if we can reach it!! Thanks for the suggestion :-) & the cute video.

My engine isn't throwing any codes though? I heard some newer model vehicles that rely on vacuum assisted actuators still sometimes lack electronic codes when the vacuum system fails. Thank you fellow earthlings for your help in advance

My son fixed the pcv valve and it worked beautifully but I had more problems with it so we replaced my race n pinion then we had some stalling issues so then we replaced spark plugs and a fuel pump assembly but it kept coming up with 02sensor bank 1 we replaced all 4 sensors but the code still didn't go off. So we took it to a mechanic that had a bigger code reader and he said my 02sensor was coming up as bad. He told me to replace that bank 1 sensor
@annazarr93142 жыл бұрын
.....and come back so he can clear that code and see what comes up. I've been told that it could be a permanent code stuck in the computer and mechanics are the only ones that can clear them legally here in Colorado. Replaced the sensor but my check engine light will not go off so I'm getting very nervous bc I have to do an emissions test and get tags on this by Oct 31.

@@annazarr9314 I will tell you an old timer taught me is to get the biggest bottle of Techron at walmart and put it in the tank. if all possible for me to make a road trip out on a highway for about no less than 50 miles each way. If you can go further the better it will clean out the whole emision system. Right before you get an oil change you need to put 1 small bottle of Marvel Mystry oil in the motor. It really cleans out the build up everywhere in the motor. Just make sure you do that on the day you are getting an oil change. And a very good tip i got from a mechanic that has his own garage told me to not to use nothing but a mopar filter. he said the other filters will come apart and ruin an engine. You also can use Marvel Mystry oil in the fuel tank. it tells you how much per gallon. try those two things before you take it to a garage. o and check your plug wire connections and also if the plug wires might have a weak spot and jumping fire just a littel. that you also can do at night with no lights on and it running. if it is jumping fire you can see it jump. sorry for the rambling. I hope ive helped at lease a little. let me know how it goes and try to have a good day.

I'd really like to know how you located that vacuum leak? I'm flat broke the only thing I tried was a long rubber hose that I blew cigarette smoke into while having the other end in the throttle body opening. I sealed it off with plastic and tape but still I couldn't find any leaks but my engine does act as if it has a vacuum leak. It races it doesn't want to start when it's cold, the brake pedal doesn't come up all the way fully, and I suspect it's because it's a lack of vacuum assist to the power brakes due to a leak.
@fortheloveofdirtdotnet3 жыл бұрын
what i did is crank the car and take a can of starter fluid and spray around all of the vacume lines. when it hits the leak the motor will idle down for a few seconds then goes back up.

My father is having this issue; the entire elbow is rotted off of the tube on the crankcase side. He wants the whole tube. I did a little poking around and found the MOPAR part number for this tube. It's mislabeled on the diagram despite it being in clear view. The original part number is 53032617AE and the Updated part number is 53032617AF. Hope that helps!
