2013 Ford Focus se, broke plastic pipe on intake manifold. What is it?

Hi, this is Bo, an auto expert on RepairPal's Car Genius team! That sounds exactly like something I would do! It sounds like the plastic pipe you broke on your 2013 Ford Focus SE’s intake manifold is likely the PCV (Positive Crankcase Ventilation) valve hose or vacuum line. These hoses are crucial for maintaining proper engine vacuum and venting crankcase gases back into the intake for combustion. When damaged, they cause major vacuum leaks, leading to high idle and erratic engine behavior like you’re experiencing. Once replaced, the vacuum leak should be resolved, and your Focus should run smoothly again. If you need more help, feel free to ask! If you have any other questions, please call us at 877-913-1554!
