Stock Air Cleaner PCV, Thermostatic Cleaner
I took my car in for an emmissions inspection today and failed. The car (TBI) had an open element air cleaner on it when I bought it. The IAT sensor was missing and i fixed that, but the PCV isn't hooked up and neither is the Thermostatic Air Cleaner (which I've never heard of before). I have the big metal stock air cleaner, but I dont know how everything is supposed to be hooked up or if I'm missing parts. Can someone give me pictures or diagrams of how it's all supposed to be hooked up?

Breather pic:
For the breather just remove the hose from the valve cover and install a independant breather like the one I have installed then position the breather hose next to the valve cover breather if they do visual inspections. For me they didn't do visual inspections so I just left it like how you see it in the pic.
PCV pic:
Oh and don't forget to spray some B12 in the PCV hose to get some of the gunk out. And install a new PCV valve if you have worn rings/valve seals. If the PCV valve has a burnt or darkened carbon like appearance on the bottom buy another one. They are barely $2.
