crankcase vapors. Fresh air from the air cleaner is With this
system, any blow-by in excess of the
slipplied to the crankcase, mixed with blow-by gases system capacity (from a badly-worn engine, sustained
and then passed through a positive crankcase heavy load, etc.) is exhausted into the air cleaner and

(Figure C13-1).
The primary control is through the PCV valve
(Figure
(213-2) which meters the flow at a rate
depending on manifold vacuum.
To maintain idle quality, the PCV valve restricts
the flow when intake manifold vacuum is high. If
abnormal operating conditions arise, the system is
designed to allow excessive amounts
of I,low-by gases
to back flow through the crankcase vent tube into the
engine air inlet to be consumed by normal combustion.
RESULTS OF INCORRECT OPERATION
A plugged valve or hose may cause:
@ Rough idle.
@ Stalling or slow idle speed.
@ Oil leaks.
@ Sludge in engine.
A leaking valve or hose would cause:
@ Rough idle.
@ Stalling.
@ Iiigh idle speed.
DIAGNOSIS
FUNCTIONAL CHECK OF PCV VALVE
If an engine is idling rough, check for a clogged
PCV valve or plugged hose. Replace as required. Use
the following procedure:
1. Remove PCV valve from rocker arm cover.
2. Run the engine at idle.
3. Place your thumb over end of vi~lcce to check for
vacuum. If there is
no vacuum at valve, chcck for
plugged hoses or
lrlanifold port, or 1'CV valve.
Replace plugged or dcterioratcd hoses.
