    Don't forget to change the grommet also with pcv valve, meaning the bushing of the pcv valve ( the grommet stays inside the valves cover) because they go bad also, and a bad grommet will cause vacuum leak. My CR-V has a bad grommet and change both the valve and grommet. Of course you need to check the hose too, if it hard, or cracked, you need to change it because the hose should be soft enough.

      As far as the grommet goes you can use that 205 polymer stuff to it and it'll rejuvenate the grommet. Making it supple and returning it to its original shape. As to the valve? Replacement? I just clean them out with gumout till it rattles again. And having a oil catch can installed helps to keep most of the oil vapor returning to the intake manifold. Thus helping the air fuel mixture to be correct and helping to keep oil deposits from building up on the valves and in the piston chamber. Better fuel economy. Less maintenance, Less headaches.

      I just did a valve cover job on my 2000 q45 an it’s running to lean …. Could that grommet really be throwing my engine off like that , WOW !! ….. I replaced the pcvs to new ones …..

    EXCELLENT presentation!!!! My 2007 Dodge Magnum's engine maintenance light recently came on. The car has been running sluggish and having high RPM when it's initially started. This morning, blue smoke came out of the tailpipe during its startup with a heavy smell of gasoline. I feared the engine had a blown head gasket or valve problems. With your video presentation, my engine meets most of the criteria of a stuck PVC valve and I plan to replace the valve tomorrow. Thanks so much for the fantastic video and keep up the great work!!!

      Although this commenter fell off a cliff, rest their soul… just in case anyone in a similar situation sees this, I doubt this helped. Strong gas smell plus the running lean symptoms is sounding a lot more like some fried rings which can produce pretty much identical symptoms to a bad pcv valve.

      @@angelarohr7161 I had similar symptoms but the exhaust smelled of pungent fumes rather than like gas. And my intake to the manifold was glazed with a thick layer of oil. I felt like I was down about 50Hp too, I would nearly have to floor my poor little vw to get up a hill. Checked the PCV and it was in shambles... After swapping it, the car runs beautifully and idles like a dream.

    Great video! I finally found a video that nailed the symptoms on my 2014 Chevy Cruze LS 1.8L . I’ve changed the purge valve first then outta no where I got a P0300 code and while it did improve occasionally while driving it will throw out a big puff of smoke and loose some power. The purge valve is opposite of the 1.4L keep in mind it’s built into the 1.8L valve cover that’s not noticeable like on the 1.4L (a big round circle). I’ve decided I’ll replace with an aluminum valve cover instead of the plastic cover along with a new pcv hose this should definitely fix this problem and get it back to running great

    ...and most PCV valves are cheap ($5-10) and a fairly easy installation after the old one is removed. You can clean it with spray brake cleaner, but they are really cheap to buy! An adjustable jaw wrench makes it simple to remove and then get an 'end wrench' to match your PCV valve to make removal/replacement simpler.

    2005 pt cruiser turbo. The pcv broke, the bottom valve and spring fell into top of head. No check engine light but lots of noticeable smoke from exhaust. Rattle test is not a way to check this pcv, the valve is held closed by a spring, it will not rattle.

    What would be the symptoms of a PVC valve stuck "closed". My engine idles rough, if I pull the vacuum hose off of the valve it is improved but that does cause the engine to rev at a higher rpm, so not sure if the at idle is really improved. My valve cost only 10 bucks and it's only been replaced once in 18 years. It is on an 05 PT Cruiser. I've pulled and cleaned the fuel valve and throttle body. Replaced MAP, MAF, and crank position sensors. The cam shaft position sensor was replace about 3 years ago along with plugs and wires.

    I had my PCV valve and hose changed last year on my chrysler. Probably 20,000 miles ago. I noticed today it looks wet around the valve and where the hose connects. Do they go bad prematurely? Past owner ran conventional oil most of its life, I'm running synthetic now. Is it possible the valve is clogged up from cleaning up the old oil? No engine light, just wet around the area.

    I don’t have rough idle,smoke, stalling,have only Had 1 recorded misfire, I also don’t get any codes. However, I did notice that my Pcv valve leaked oil around the base of the valve itself. And noticed a crack on the base of the hose that connects to the Pcv.I have been struggling with my rpms hesitating (low rpm “bucking”) when I get on and off the throttle. Would this crack have caused my engine hesitation? It’s honestly hella annoying not being able to drive smoothly because I cannot ease into the throttle.

    The only reason it causes a lean condition is because it is sucking air (and oil) into the intake through the pcv vacuum port. Anyways, if you route the pcv hose away from the intake and block off the vacuum port, it will get rid of that lean condition, and all the carbon buildup that causes low power issues that in fact DECREASE fuel economy.

    I'm not a pro mechanic, but I think that rattle test is not enough.
    I noticed that my 2010 Subaru Impreza had some oily residue in the intake, cleaned old PCV, it did rattle OK. The when I was in the Subaru dealer decided to get a new one, why not. Compared them side by side:
    - they both rattle the same
    - when I blow into one direction, they both can be blown with the same resistance
    - when I blow into another direction, the new one completely block air flow, but the old one remains half way open. It restricts airflow, but why too much from been fully closed like the new one.
    So I put the new one on, will see if anything changes.

      The valve covers
      The valley
      The side of the block
      You can have a couple different pipes without a pcv valve in them.

      Smoke test your intake.
      And as far as those codes go it seems like either your pressure sensor is bad, you have a clogged charcoal canister, or you have a bad gas cap.
      Potential causes?
      Overfilling the tank when you fill up.
      That "click" when the pump shuts off helps protect the charcoal canister so try not to "top it off".
      Or smoke test the evap system and see if there's leaks there.

    Check the installed valve:
    Put a clean hose on the valve and suck in air.
    If the valve does not allow airflow it is bad. Replace it with a new one.
    If the valve does allow airflow, it is working in the vacuum direction.
    Next, blow air in. The valve is not good if it allows air in.
    The valve is good if it blocks airflow - for backfire protection.
    Check the new valve, if replacing, as described above.

    The best way to test a PCV valve is to remove it and put a balloon on the threaded end and blow through the other end. If the balloon inflates (and the balloon doesn't leak air ) then the PCV is fucked. Buy a new one. You can clean them with carby cleaner also if you're desperate 👍.

      Here's something to try.
      Swap the fuel injector, coil, and plug, with a neighboring one.
      Check Compression between them while you're there.
      No change? It didn't move to the other cylinder?
      AND the compression is good?
      It could be the computer or gasket.
      If the compression is bad, put a few drops of oil into the cylinder and check again.
      This checks if it's the rings or the upper end. If it changes you need new rings, if it doesn't it's either the valves or the gasket.
      If you want to tell for certain if it's a blown gasket,
      Does it lose oil or coolant?
      Does it have extreme pressure in the cooling system, or crankcase?
      Does it have coolant in the oil(milky) or oil in the coolant(frothy and milky)?
      It's your Compression good?
      Take a spark plug out and look in the cylinders with a bore scope to see if there's leaking anywhere.
      Simple things you can do to have an idea where to go.

      @kairu_aname 8 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I thought that was the purpose of the DI and egr parts.
      The actual purpose of the pcv system is to pull the crankcase into vacuum so that the seals last longer and the cylinders aren't fighting as much air pressure inside the motor when they go down, therefore using less fuel to operate.

    • @Pro1er
      @Pro1er 8 หลายเดือนก่อน

      @@kairu_aname "In order for the PCV system to draw fumes out of the crankcase, the system must have a source of fresh air. The source of this fresh air is the "crankcase breather", which is usually ducted from the engine's air filter or intake manifold. The breather is usually provided with baffles and filters to prevent oil mist and vapour from fouling the air filter. This phenomenon can be further reduced by installing after-market air oil separators or catch cans, as colloquially known, to pull oil mist out of suspension and collect it in a reservoir before it can reach the intake."

      Almost none of that is true.

      It's an oil separator, almost never filtered.
      The last thing is correct.
      It's no wonder you think the pcv system causes gunk. It "can", but it does because there's no fuel to wash it off, and again the egr is what mainly causes the soot.
