Too late. On the way home tonight (jan. 2) the cursed CEL came on. My PCV hose repair wasn't the answer I guess. My hose was in very bad shape (cracking), so I think the shop mechanics probably caused the cut when they were taking stuff apart way back when. Oh well, at least that hose is out of my way.



Even though this didn't solve the CEL problem, I must say that my car is starting and idling after start much much better than before.

I am planning to replace the ENTIRE plastic hose soon.
