    Pull the breather off and cap it. You're pulling unmetered air into the engine.

    Okay, took the breather off, and put the end cap on. Drove around for about 10 minutes, and the check light is still on. My oil catch can (looking from driver outside towards passenger, the oil catch can has input on the right, so the line comes from lower engine part, then the output (left side) goes through a fuel filter (has arrows showing direction) and then to the upper line on the plastic cover. Seems correct, but the sensors need time to adjust? If so how long?
    Gonna take another picture

    Just reading through this and got me thinking this is something I should definitely look into... Is this something y'all would recommend for a 14 v6 or am I missing something. Is this only for boosted or something for stock motors too

    Thanks all

    I installed one on my 14 n/a V6 within the first month. Between 500 and 1500 miles on the odometer I had accumulated about 2 tbl spoons of oil. I would definitely recommend installing one sooner than later.

    Did you clear the check engine light?

    Haven't you started the engine and listened for some hissing noise are nd the catch can? If there is a hissing sound, you have a vacuum leak still.

    If the problem is corrected, then code will clear on it's own after a few start/restart cycles.
    Manually clearing the code is quickest, but not needed.

    Trac-Off or VSC are normal to come on with the CEL.

    Is there a better way to reset the CEL without pulling neg terminal (like to keep radio presents, etc..). Would pulling a certain fuse work? If so which one?

    I just received my ADD W1 catch can, getting ready to install it.

    What size fuel hose has everybody used? Seems like 3/8" and some 7/16" is this correct?

    Thanks

    3/8" is a perfect fit. The 7/16" is too loose on the engine side, where 3/8" is more snug fit. Here's mine:
