I’ll have you know that my local fixit sho tried to convince me that to fix
this problem the whole engine had to come apart. My favorite part of this
video is the joy after you fix it yourself and say FU to the mechanics who
would have stuck it to you.
i have ford taurus it looks same as your sable and i have the same problem
i will check that PCV hose and see if i have the same problem thanks for
the video
My 2000 Mercury Sable has been running rough at idle for about a week then
started dying at stoplights. After looking for loose vacuum hoses and
cleaning out the air intake and other parts, I found your video and there
it was! My PCV hose was completely collapsed! I am going to the parts store
this morning. It looks like a super easy fix from here on out. Thank you so
much for your post!
I had to be at speed all the time. I had to put the car in park at every
stop and constantly rev the engine to kept it from shutting off and then
throw it into drive and gun it off the line to keep it going. Hope this
helps.
@jamlinc thank you so much for sharing this video I have a 2003 sable, and
after seeing this video , and sure enough, it was the pcv hose….wow!!!!!
the power of the internet
CRACKED ME UP WITH YOUR CELEBRATION ! ! ! mine collapsed atop the pcv
valve. a buck fifty for 3/8 fuel line and some torn skin was all. PEACE OUT
BROTHER
all you had to do was hit the fast forward button and keep the negative
comment to yourself.

I’m desperately searching for that hose right now for my 2000 taurus…
Where man????? Come on hook me up………..
That hose is a common problem with Ford. I discovered mine was split when I
had to change the rear spark plugs, which Ford wanted $800. However, I just
replaced the hose, not the valve, which looks to be a real bitch to do. I
hate Ford.
glad I don’t have the DOHC on the overhead valve its much more accessible
Thank you so much for your comments but I do have another piece of advise,
change out the PCV Valve when you change out the hose. They are available
at Autozone for $6.00. They are a pain to get to and remove. You’ll have to
take one end of a radiator hose loose. The valve has a funny fitting on the
end so I stood in the store and tried all the sockets. A 24mm deep socket
seemed to fit the best. Hope this helps.
Had the same problem with my Buick. Luckily the PCV valve is right on the
front of the engine so i didnt have to take anything apart but still a pain
in the ass to get that part since no one had it in stock.
thanks for the vid, i got an 03 taurus 24v dohc thats just started doing
the same thing. tune up did not help, mass air flow sensor did not help,
but I know its a air pressure problem now. imma try this and hope for the
best. thanks again for the vid full of advice.
I have no lights or codes, but I have replaced this PVC hose as well, also
replaced all spark plugs, all vacum lines, cleaned the Mass Air Sensor and
throttle body, replaced the temp sensors, replaced all intake seals,
Replaced the IAC. Now worse on cold startup and idle low and rough, but
better when warmed up. I’m stuck!! Please help anyone . . . Thank you
@davlterr With engine cold, the manifold can be loosened without having to
remove it. This may allow you enough room to get to the SP’s on the back
side. When replacing the pcv hose I did not have to remove the TB but could
reach underneath the TB, check the condition of the pcv hose and work from
there to replace the hose only. Before this fix the car ran like it was
ready for the junk yard. I replaced SP’s, 3 coil packs, & fuel filter & it
was this hose that was the cure for me.
Great vid, had the same problem with the same hose… I laughed at the
parts dept. at the dealership when I saw how Ford had re-engineered the
thing to keep it from collapsing…
Can you please post a model or reference to that revised PCV hose? Thanks!
Holy hell buddy, I fell asleep waiting for you to stop flapping your lips
and work on the dang car.
I’ve had a bad surging problem while the car is idle for quite a while. It
runs very well otherwise. The rough surging while idling only seems to
happen when I switch on the heat or a/c. I am going to try replacing the
PCV and see if it helps. Thanks so much for this great video!
Thanks for the video. My son’s car had the same problem. I was able to use
the old hose which was stuck to the pcv valve as a sort of extension to
remove the old valve by turning the hose with needle nose pliers, and used
the new hose to screw it in. I didn’t take anything else apart. It was kind
of tight, but I got my hands wedged in there.
Uhh uh uuhh uh um uh uhh
nice video….my girlfriend has a 1999 sable DOHC DURATEC and hers kind of
sputters and the loss of acceleration….i was thinking it was the spark
plugs and wires……would you know how to get to spark plug 1,2, and 3
behind the intake manifold? also for future references showing how you took
off the intake etc….would have been very helpful….to newbies to
mechanic work……but the vid was very useful
did your light come? i have a 2000 mercery sable ls with the dohc motor and
the light has came on. it sputters around 45 mph and i think keeps
downshifting or somthing when i let of the gas i took the air filter box
and batt out and have been looking at the hose it dont have the crease in
it but it is very skinny
O man!! U dont know how much i appreciate this video!! I hav been goin
crazi tryin to evn figure out wat my problem was…i knew it was a air-flow
problem!! Thnx alot
I’m looking as we speak for that exact hose and have bin everywhere and
noone has it…not even dealers..I have a part number from motorcraft as
original but want what you found…Where man?? I’m desperate..Junk yard
ready cause of that hose……I have a 2000 taurus se and thats my
part…where oh where man??
hi…great video…my husband has the same problem..he bought the hose and
wants to know if it’s clamped to the intake manifold just like it is where
its clamped by the firewall….its just so hard to see if it is… thank you
what other symptoms was the car doing ? any hesitation while Acceleration ,
etc? would be gretaly appreciated~ by the way! nice job!~and you kept it
real~ LOL!
Thanks for posting this James. I have a 96 with the same engine and same
rough idle problem. I hope my problem is the same as yours.
I have a 2001 Taurus SEL in great condition and upon a check engine light
that indicates vacuum leak possible I realized my damn PCV hose was just
like yours lol now I need to find that updated version and to keep
searching for other leaks!
Sure feels nice when you fix your car yourself and save money. Its a great
feeling of accomplishment. I was hoping to get a view at the actual
location of the pcv hose and not just the intake assembly. Oh, well.
@jamlinc I enjoyed this video. I have replaced the pcv hose assembly with
that U shaped elbow back in late 2006 and now it seems I have the same
problems again. It’s good to see they redesigned the elbow which is the
weakest link in that assembly. Not looking forward to it, but I wanting it
purring again the way it is supposed to. I too replaced a lot of
unnecessary parts and the damn $22 elbow is the problem costing me hundreds
with unnecessary parts.
I have changed spark plugs, oxygen sensor, two coils and mine still
sputters and the light comes back on. I will try this, ty
Thank you for the feedback. I’m from the south so of course there not a lot
of reading or writing going on so we pass on a lot of knowledge by
“flapping our lips” (grandmother called that story telling, it just sounds
better) while we do the work that’s put in front of us in the course of the
day. God bless you, Mr. Homicide.
This busted fucken hose lollll that was awesome, and thanks for the vid my
friends mom is having the same problem
