Need some help:

After cleaning and working on the wiring on the engine bay, I came across a greasy hose/wire looking thing, it was hanging and unplugged and not sure what it is. If anybody knows what this is please help me, it is in the top right of the engine bay. Thanks!

Do you have a pcv in your new covers?
Take a pic of your motor so we can see both covers.

You NEED the PVC, it EVACUATES the blow-by and helped to prevent sludge build up....
