Gates Engine Crankcase Breather Hose P/N:EMH324
Route crankcase vapors from the PCV valve to the intake with the Gates Engine Crankcase Breather Hose EMH171. This molded rubber hose is a direct-fit replacement for the 1996-1999 Ford Taurus, 1996-1999 Ford Sable, and 1996-1999 Mercury Sable — all with the V6-3.0L engine (one used per application). Positioned from the PCV valve to the intake, it carries crankcase blow-by gases along the intended ventilation path as part of the emission control system.
A cracked, hardened, or oil-soaked ventilation hose can leak or draw unmetered air; if this hose is the cause, replacing it with EMH171 restores the intended PCV routing.
