Broken Grommet, Help! Pics Included!

[Hanzie]

I had just replaced a hose line, but when i pulled off the end (circled in red) the grommet was split and broke to pieces on me, So i am just wondering how i would go at replacing it, the auto shop i went too had no idea what i was talking about, and super cheap auto couldnt help me either, the car starts and runs fine, but i just dont know the severity of that hose in particular, could someone tell me what the hose does, and how i would go about replacing the grommet or where to find one? i dont want to drive it atm cause i just fixed it and i dont want any more damage to come to it.

Awesome! thanks fellas! What does that pipe do anyways? it had a split in it so i just replaced it with standard hose, not the stuff made to bend that way, that will be fine wont it?

Basically, if you get any blow by past your piston rings into the crankcase, the valve that goes into the grommet relieves that pressure back into your in take pipe to the throttlebody.

So, yeah will be fine as long as there are no kinks.

Just tell the Nissan parts guy its the PCV (Positive Crankcase Ventilation) valve grommet.

May as well while your there, hose might be a bit pricier as it's moulded. No worries, anytime.
