Best Answer

The part you are referring to is called a "Flame Trap" - it is part of the positive crankcase ventilation (PCV) system. When it fails it causes too much suction in the crankcase, usually resulting in a nasty squeal or howl at idle that goes away when you remove the oil filler cap. Replacing it requires removing the intake manifold. My dealer quoted $450.00 for the job ($100 for parts and 3 hours labor).
