PCVs this ones a bit odd

Whilst pratting around today making the car work again (thank god I finally got it running properly)

 

I noticed the passenger side PCV doesnt seem to be connected properly, the clip is missing and the PCV end of the hose has seems to have swollen up with heat (possibly) it kinda sits loosly over the end of the PCV now...

 

car seems to be running fine, was running super rich and burning a little oil with all the messing around with running on 5 then 4 then 5 again and now a nice sweet 6! Got a bit of a smoke screen for the first couple of miles then it all cleared up and was fine.

 

I would have thought a non-functioning PCV would give me a seriously rough idle??? :confused:

 

will order some new valves and hoses but should I drive with it like it is?

    I spoke with peterR about this at billing, as I couldnt see any reason why you couldnt vent the PCV to air rather than chuck it back into the combustion chamber. IIRC he was of the opinion that you could sdo so, as long as you maintain part of the vaccum, so It may be that whilst part of the system is venting to air, if you have maintained the required vacumm in the othe rpart , it will run fine. As always stand to be corrected.
