dont swap it till you clean it. They normally just get dirty. grab your wifes toothbrush and a can of brake cleaner and clean the pintle inside it etc. you can get a lil rough with it. its not fragile.

when you get the distributor cap,get the brass ones,better quality against corrosion. as for the pcv valve being loose theres a rubber grommet it goes into. its got a ridge on both sides and it "snaps" into place on the valve cover.
