Well on the way home from work, the car started bucking, snarling and spitting like it suddenly developed rabies and then the CEL came on. I gunned the gas for a sec and the light went out but it ran very very rough. I just made it home.
After shutting it down and letting it cool off, I started taking the air cleaner housing apart so I could clean the MAF and that'[s when I saw this 1" "S" shaped hose running from a round valve at the back of the engine to this black round thing that was connected to the breather tube behund the MAF. I saw there was a large tear on the "S" shaped hose right at the valve, so I grabbed a piece of heater hose I had left over from replacing my heater hoses and cut it to size and put it on.
Started the car and good grief, dang thing ran so smoothly my next door neighbour who came over to see what I was up to didn't know the engine was running. Took the car out for a test drive and it ran smooth as silk. STill a slight vibration when accelerating but I suspect I have a CV joint issue or something. Will have the mechanic check that out.
Just happy to have my daily driver back without any major expense.
