Pvc
well i was looking closely at the valve covers and i noticed on the passenger side cover, there is a hose coming from where the PCV is on the driver side going into the intake as opposed to the PCV that goes into the air breather. I dont know what i wanna do, if its not a good idea to plug the hole in the valve cover, then i might just go buy a fancy breather that has the hole for the PCV.
and at the start of the post, i had meant to put PCV, but i guess i didnt notice that i had put PVC lol

I guess I don't really understand what your saying above.
There are two different parts to the PCV system.
1) On the drivers side cover (left side) is where the breather filter is. It has a hose that connects to the air filter housing.
2) On the passenger side cover (right side), the PCV valve is mounted in the valve cover. There is a hose connecting the PCV valve to the intake manifold.
If you don't have the PCV valve connected to the intake manifold, you are basically doing nothing. Also, the breather filter (drivers side valve cover) needs to be kind of clean (allow air flow through it).
To test the PCV system, with the engine running, take the PCV valve off the valve cover. Put your finger on the end of the PCV valve and confirm there is vacuum. If there isn't vacuum, replace the PCV valve or hose as required.
