Emission Control System
Positive Crankcase Ventilation IPCVI System
Descripiion
The Positive Crankcase Ventilation (PCV) system is
designed to prevent blow-by gas from escaping to the
atmosphere. The PCV valve contains a spring-loaded
plunger. When the engine starts, the plunger in the PCV
valve is lifted in proportion to intake manifold vacuum
and the blow-by gas is drawn directly into the intake
manifold.

lrcpection
1. Check the PCV hoses and connections for leaks and
clogging.
2. At idle, make sure there is a clicking sound from the
PCV valve when the hose between the PCV valve
and the intake manifold is lightly pinched with your
fingers or pliers,
