hm im not sure how to plug this up or what it looked like before it was broken off. the hose that goes from the oil neck goes into the rubber intake tubing. im assuming there is a male piece that was supposed to be coming off of my intake tubing, because it is just a hole now. even though this hose is about 16 inches past the MAF, i think too much air is being sucked up that isnt being measured by the maf

i just want to follow up since when searching for this code, no one ever found a resolution.
anyway i had cracks in the tube going in my air recirculation thing, i replaced that 3/32" hose.
also replaced my o2 sensor, which was a pain to get out.
no more check engine light, and my gas mileage seems to have doubled. im sure its not that drastic but without a doubt it helped.
