I dont know about the suction issue,but you should NOT be able to see through it.This is basically a 1 way valve,that opens when a preset amount of suction is applied.In the "old school" we just shook them. If they rattled,they were fine,if not it got replaced.........

That "valve" is most likely under the valve cover now. You need to get it out as it may cause damage to the engine.

That's better than a broken one. Seems that the Motorcraft units are better calibrated for the proper amount of airflow.
