[QUOTE="DILLARD000, post: 1042952, member: 74901"] Believe that's the PCV Coolant Loop. On a 2001 Job2 V6~4.0L~SOHC, it's 5/16" hosed up parallel & operates with 5/8" HeaterCore Coolant loop. Suspect it's same on your 2002. It runs from a metal Tee (your pic) near the right Valve Cover, to the PCVHeatExhanger on the right side of the IntakeManifold throat behind the ThrottleBody, to the PCVValve oxbow on left ValveCover rear, & back to the HeaterCore loop via a plastic Tee near the FireWall. I've removed this smaller 5/16" coolant loop on my ExST & the associated Tees, as it's a "Rube Goldberg" design that doesn't really work & is only a source of potential coolant leaks. Suspect your PO did a half job of removing this loop & left you a bit of a mess. If you do restore original PCV Coolant loop, recommend stainless 5/8~5/16~5/8" barbed Tees (Amazon or Ebay) & stock 5/8" + 5/16" heater hose from your local AutoParts counter, instead of overpriced junk plastic OEM parts.
