Careful when removing the PCV valve as the grommet is likely brittle and can break and fall into the crank case. Happened to me.

Lol yesterday i changed this on my 06 civic. It even cleared up a check engine light for the catalytic converter

[Anonmous]

Yup. One of the most, if not THE most, forgotten about and neglected item under the hood.

[Saunteringvaguely.downwards]

Thank you. My grandfather never taught me to work on cars because I am a woman. But I have always wanted to be able to fix them, as I am an admirer of most 80s vehicles and many come with their issues. You make it quick and to the point. With each piece of advice, my knowledge will only grow. I didn’t even know how to check the oil about a year ago.

Toyota decided to put the PCV valve for my 2011 Venza under the intake manifold. So a simple replacement becomes a pain in the butt.

[Not_Sure_]

My vw's valve is huge lol. Leaked and got oil covering my MAF which for some smart reason was at the bottom of the intake. Cleaned it all up and runs 100% again. Not bad for 180k miles

This guy is like robin hood 🤣 saving us money 👍🏽

If it’s a Honda, it could also be the vtec solenoid

Love your stuff!. I got a 2000 mustang v6. I bought for 3000. A/C condensation leak on the O2 sensor.. I ran 1/4 inch hose into the drain then wrapped it underneath the firewall. No more stalling problem.

Replacing a PCV valve is not as easy as it used to be on some vehicles. I've got a 2011 Toyota Corolla. The PCV valve on that is located beneath the intake manifold, That meant I had to remove the manifold to reach it. That, in turn, meant I had to remove the throttle body and since the throttle body also has a coolant line running through it, it meant I had to plug up the respective hoses leading to and from it. There was also part of a wiring harness that was attached to the bottom of the manifold which had to be moved aside.

As usual, Scotty's always looking out for us.

You dont need a new engine. Just new seals and rings all throughout engine. New sensor seals. And while it's all apart take everything and have it machined and replace all hoses. Should be a few dollars less than a new engine.

Good looking out Scotty I haven't thought of that in years kudos!!🧰🙏👍🍺

[justincase]

But if the piston rings are worn, causing "blow by", the pressure inside the crankcase can force oily thick vapors out and then get sucked through the PCV valve gumming it up. Even worse, the same extra oil going into the cylinders will carbon up the engine.
Replacing the PCV valve is part of good maintenance, but if your rings and valve seals are shot ya got at least a partial rebuild on your hands.
Props to Scotty though!

My 04 cavalier doesn’t have a pcv valve. What are your thoughts about an oil catch can?

[jamesfrench]

My mechanic cured a rough idle by replacing a collapsed PCV.
