How To: Diagnose and Replace a PCV Valve

[@Meekmillan]

I did not expect an auto parts store video to actually be helpful lol Godbless you glasses man

[@davidblois3161]

$8 part and probably 5 minutes most to replace it? And my local dealership wanted to charge $300? Yeah no thank you.

[@lliaolsen728]

What kind of car do you have? Some are sneaky and put the PCV into the intake manifold. That means replacing the entire intake manifold just to replace the PCV

[@davidblois3161]

Llia Olsen toyota corolla, so you could be right. I haven’t gotten around to actually replacing it yet.

[@laurynceleste7025]

David Blois hope you watched a video, it could just be like hondas and be right on top and EZ af

[@DougHinVA]

I still have a 1999 built Corolla and am ready to put in a new PCV and the hose as well... total cost about $22 and an hour of work on a dry day with the car engine cooled... My second one and now at 280K miles....

Thank you. I have oil burning and every time I take my car in for oil change I tell them and they have never mentioned pcv valve. I figured it out when I changed my air flow sensor.

I wish mine was that easy to change. Ford put it on the back of the block; close to the firewall. With my bear paw hands, it's tough to get back there! And it's in a blind spot, so you have to work by touch.🙄

I inherited the truck from my father and I the oil change place said I’ve been burning massive amounts of oil and have my PCV check due to its never been replaced. No smoke and have great power still just massive oil consumption

Can this valve cause the vehicle to hesitate and idle roughly?

[@joebird1400]

Yes

[@MiguelRPD]

Yeah my Lexus was throwing a little bit of smoke from the exhaust. The PCV valve was broken (if you shake it. It makes a noise. A good PCV valve stays silent) so I replaced it and my exhaust issue is gone. On a 08 Lexus es350 you need a 19mm deep socket.

[@bigtuna9529]

Actually a good PCV valve DOES make noise ie; rattles when you shake it! The valve has a one way mechanism that opens when letting the vapors into the manifold to burn off but stops then from going back in by preventing back flow. Most PCV valves sound make a sound similar to a can of spray paint when you shake them!

[@MiguelRPD]

@@bigtuna9529 your right ! I was completely wrong. But my car is definitely letting off less exhaust fumes and I'd say it looks normal now and doesn't smell rich. I'm pretty sure I'm not just seeing things lol. Anyways the PCV valve was the original so it gives me piece of mind to replace it either way.

[@marcsan7845]

Too much blowby. From combustion chamber to crankcase. Try replacing PCV valve. They are very important and forgetten.

[@CallumWaring]

Replacing this costs almost $500 according to my local chevy dealership!

[@lliaolsen728]

Do you own a newer engine or turbocharged motor? Some Chevy's have the PCV embedded inside the intake manifold. So that requires a complete manifold replacement just to fix the PCV.

I called the dealership for the price of the FPR and they tell me they don't have one on the computer. A dummy like me believes him because I don't find any videos of anyone working on the 2015 which seems to be different than the others in the engine.

If the spark plugs are contaminated with oil, can the spark plugs be salvaged simply by cleaning the oil on them or must they be replaced?

[@niftynev999]

yes

[@whibby]

Ya

[@edjones7145]

If the plugs are fouled with oil you have big problems. Either your head gasket, or rings are not sealing. You can clean the plugs but if it fouls again you need to dig into the engine and figure out where the oil is coming from.
