The fitting circled in green just keeps falling out and causing my car not to idle properly. What is supposed to be holding it in? do i need a new valve cover or what do i do? sorry if this is a noob question i have been googling for about 45 minutes with no luck

just put it around the tube and shove it in and let it dry? what held it in there from the factory?

How does that affect idle?
I have seen SR's running it open, with a breather on the crankcase vent.

its pressed in by factory, so just use a strong adhesive to hold it.

threebond works wonders. i use it on everything. its like $10 a tube but worth it for sure.

Doesn't affect idle at all, just to release crankcase pressure from blow by, i have a breather filter on my ka

If your running the VC nipple to the turbo intake pipe it creates a Vac leak
