Default New PCV Valve and Hose

Ok, so i was getting ready to seafoam, got my plugs changed to crappy ones for the job, i go to pull the pcv valve hose out and the valve comes out and the hose breaks, i need to get a new one and i was thinking about calling autozone in the morning, i really made this about the pcv valve, do i need to get a new one or can i pull it out of the broken hose and put it back in?

Well if you haven't changed it in a while it's like a $7 part, and autozone does carry it in stock, remember to get a new grommet to hold it in place too which adds a whole $1!

well i got the new valve and put it in, i got the new grommet but it looked really loose so i didnt use it, should the pcv valve have fit snugly in it when they werent installed or should it have been loose around it? got the seafoaming done though, went well

PCV should fit just "snug". BTW, did you notice any difference after you seafomed? SC300 or 400?

after i seafoamed throttle response was a bit better, when i start it up cold the car still shakes for some reason, thought it might fix that, but it was so annoying changing spark plugs twice in like 3 days. Sc400

The PCV should be very very snug, I had to use some good force to get it back in. Are you sure your valve is on the correct direction?
