Rough Idle On 2003 Ford Explorer Limited

[BlackOut33]

Hi guys I got a rough idle on my 03 explorer limited 4.6L V8
Took it into a mechanic that ive known for a long time and he checked it out and seen that my PCV Valve Hose Elbow is bad it was making a hissing noise he took the part off called FORDS with this Part # 2L2E-6K816-BC when he called them they could not find that part at all in the system...So he in the meantime put on a HEATER hose and the rough idle went away and it's running good right now he said this will work good for now and he wants to call FORD Monday morning again and get another part specialist because he thinks the guy we dealt with was a complete idiot. Who knows

Any ideas what Part # it is boys I just don't want to be stuck without that HOSE

Driving with the HEATER hose will be OK for the time being right? I just don't want to be stranded anywhere that's all

Thanks guys

I appreciate it

The heater hose should be fine as a temporary fix.
OEM part is designed to resist fuel and oil vapors.
