Re: PCV System Question

That particular elbow-hose is a piece of crap by design ... you're right, it should not be collapsed but every Escort/Tracer I've seen with a few Kmiles on it has a collapsed hose. Just replace the hose and go from there ... Replace the PCV valve if there is any question about its performance ... you depend on this thing to keep piston blow-by vapors out of the crankcase.
