Is the crankcase breather pipe on the 2.1L just a straight pipe from
the crankcase or is there something inside this pipe.  It seems
fairly substantial to be just a breather pipe but I suppose it has to
stand up to some high temperatures as well.  Also the hose from this
pipe to the intact air ducts seems to be a little worn and seems to
be collapsing on itself, not totally yet but the hose is very
mushy--Is this normal.  My van is driveable and starts fine, I'm just
trying to find out why it has lost power.  I'm suspecting a vacuum
leak but cant tell for sure.  Just did a basic tuneup hoping that
would cure this problem but it didnt.
