Well I made a small fix and came up with another question:

First I took off my duratec cover and bam found a PCV problem. The Hose that connects to my shorty CAI from the original ford tube was loose enough to hear creaking when I moved the hose. Simple fix was to put on a hose clamp.

My question now is, under that rubber peice attached to the Valve cover, is there a PCV valve or is just an empty hole? My rubber connectors can probably be replaced, but where can I get new ones, and I want to get new PCV valves at the same time.

The rear one is going to be a PITA. I'll probably have to take off the IAC again...but fore now with the hose problem clamped I might reset and go for a drive to see if the CEL comes back.

how can I check plastic vaccum lines for cracks? I might have cracked one in the process of replacing the IAC.
