I was checking my engine bay and i found out this hise was leaking, the problem is i dont know what hose it is so i cant get a replacement

 

[Cavigiolo]

Btw i have a 1997 suzuki sidekick 1.6l 16v

That is the PCV hose, replace with generic hose of same size

 

[Cavigiolo]

thank you very much aquanaut

 

[aquanaut20]

It only holds manifold vapours, so what is leaking .?

 

[Cavigiolo]

there is oil under it, the big black spot under the hose is oil

 

[aquanaut20]

Remove the PCV valve from the valve cover and clean is with some solvent, reinstall with new or present hose.. it should click freely when clean..

Then clean and check the PCV rubber grommet at the cover, 99% of the time that's the leak, if that hose is leaking your idle would usually be affected, as that will be a vacuum leak source.

ok will do as soon as i can get a replacement, here in peru we cant even leave our house to go to work so its gonna take a while for me to get another hose and/or valve

You dont need a hose, pull it apart and clean it, reassemble and then see exactly what is leaking, as you drive it.

yes, my idle is very rough, as soon as I start the engine it will go to 2000rpm immediately, and then when it warms up then it goes back to like 1000rpm but keeps fluctuating.

i will attach another photo because i think something is broken just hang on 1 minute let me take the picture

 

[aquanaut20]

That may a manifestation of a sticking PCV, clean it and see what results, you do not need to go anywhere....may not need a new valve or hose...

You can do a temp repair with electrical tape to cover a split, just clean hose first.

 

[Cavigiolo]

ok guys will do that thank you so much for your help. i will be posting an update

 

[aquanaut20]

Phew! thought you would never calm down... keep up the good work, we are pulling for you.. stay safe !!

But next time stay at least 2 meters from the computer.... or wear a mask...

 

[Cavigiolo]

I think it is broken

 

[aquanaut20]

Ahh! yes that is the result of heavy hands... needs to be replaced, or judicious use of emergency epoxy like "JB Weld"

If you go the repair mode, make sure it is implacably clean first...

 

[Cavigiolo]

Here in peru at least until now i cant find one i will have to call the suzuki dealership because i think there are newer models that use the same pcv valve right?

 

[2013GV]

one off the same engine model would be the best, as a "emergency" to allow you to drive it, plug the hose with a cork, or a bolt and tape so its not sucking air, and clean the cover, find some hose that will push into the hole and run the end into a bottle to catch the oil, mount away from the hot stuff obviously, this will at least allow you to drive it if you need to in an emergency.
