Sirs
I have a 1996 Ford Contour with 2.5L V6 Duratec engine. This engine have two cam covers (front and aft). Front cover ventilation hose is connected to main air intake duct. Aft cover have a hose too, I don't know where to connect it. Please your help.

Thanks.

we have no pictures of this so you'll have to look around it may b to the air duct going into throttle as its' a crankcase breather.

Thanks hmac300 for your reply!

I already did that, connect this vent to air intake duct, like the other hose, but the engine gets accelerated and when you remove oil cap, you may heard a pressure release.

Hi.

I put a new PCV valve and connect both cam cover hoses to air duct, engine is working smooth but a little bit accelerated, it stays at 1100-1200 rpm. Is it normal?

And your are right, what I heard is vacuum. That's what it should be?

Thanks again. Regards.

sounds about right but clean your throttle plate on both sides it may be a little sticky. and the idle will go down.
