Had a slight variation in idle speed the other day - it persisted for a couple of days - opened the hood and looked around - all appeared to be good - but upon closer inspection noticed the crankcase breather hose had perished on the plenum connection obviously causing a small vacuum leak - it perished on the very end so I cut it off and reattached alleviating the vacuum leak and idle variation - have a new hose ordered for $9 - guess I could have used some hose I had but will give a parts house $9 for the proper part (that included shipping)

Ok went to change the hose and when I pulled the hose off on the valve cover the little barrel pulled out with the hose - my question is should I just pound it back in and lock tight it in or could I use the Bosch D2 PCV adapter ? not sure if the GEMs and Bosch valve covers are the same that this would screw into the valve cover ?

Let me know if you have an opinion
