Changing PCV hose on 2000 Mercury Sable

The PCV hose, part # 6A664, on my 2000 Mercury Sable failed causing a vacuum leak. I replaced the hose and all is well. Thank you to all the professional and DIY mechanics that post videos and answer forum questions. Your time is not wasted. 09/01/11 Attention: New Information. Do yourself a favor and changed out the PCV Valve at the same time you are changing out the hose. The valve is available at Autozone for $6 or $7. Try this to remove the valve, a 24mm deep socket. Be sure to leave feedback. Thanks.

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.

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

@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.

This busted fucken hose lollll that was awesome, and thanks for the vid my friends mom is having the same problem

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.

Whats the part number for ti just replaced that for someone our new one was reinforced also i was able to slide the bottom into the pcv grommet with a few hard shuves and with plyers with grips on the end was able to sqeeze that clamp and push up from the bottom to slide and lock it in place.
