1. Is he safe to run the car until we can change the part?
2. If not can he run the car if we disconnect the hose (and plug the port) going to the intake and leave the AOS hose open?
We don't want to damage the car but its his only form of transportation.
Please let us know.

I would not run it. Besides evacuating vapors from the crankcase for emission purposes, the AOS also places the crankcase under a vacuum. This is important for the low tension piston rings to seal. If i am AFU I see JFP in PA is on and will correct me.
