PCV Valve Inspection
1. Check the PCV valve (A), hoses (B), and
connections for leaks or restrictions.

and intake manifold is lightly pinched (A) with your
fingers or pliers.
If there is no clicking sound, check the PCV valve

replace the PCV valve and recheck.

PCV Valve Replacement
1. Disconnect the PCV hose.
2. Remove the PCV valve (A).

3. Install the parts in the reverse order of removal
with a new washer (B).
