- Thu Dec 18, 2008 10:46 pm #84468 Do you happen to know what the PCV valve do or used for?

- Thu Dec 18, 2008 11:48 pm #84477 i dunno if you were being sarcastic or not but if you dont actually know or for anyone who doesnt, the Positive Crankcase Ventilation valve, or PCV valve, is a one-way valve that ensures continual evacuation of gases from inside a (gasoline internal combustion) engine's crankcase.

don't get butt-hurt dude... it's the internet

I know they're only a couple bucks but before you replace it, try taking yours off and squirting both ends with carb cleaner while shaking it. If you can hear the metal ball inside clicking hard then you're good.

And beforehand to test if its bad you pinch the hose with some pliers (cover the hose with a rag if your pliers are sharp) and listen for it clicking.

If your PCV is clogged or restricted, pressure builds up in the crankcase and forces oil out where you don't want it. It also chokes your engine power at high RPM. Everyone run out and buy one!

- Sat Dec 20, 2008 1:26 pm #84657 if your pcv is bad... besides the oil.... could it affect idle in any way? or just make it build up pressure

No, but if you come up with an avatar as good as Mayhem_Audio's, then you'd get my vote.

A recent study shows that 92% of all teenagers converted to emo/punk etc. Put this in your sig if you're one of the 8% who stayed gangsta as shit.

Oh god, I was at Orlando Intl. around Christmas and some lady did the same thing, but on a crowded down escalator. Just sort of sat down and everyone behind her started to pile up. Funniest thing I saw down there.

- Thu Feb 24, 2011 11:48 pm #240784 First, thanks for the DIY. Its really simple but im a noob. I still enjoy fixing/ replacing anything that'll benefit my car.lol

I noticed when I did this that the tube that connects the pvc to the intake was squeezed and contracted. What i mean is it looked like it was pinched quite a bit. Will that drastically affect anything? Should I buy another one? Thanks in advance
