My engine was starting to make noisy enginey sounds when idling so I changed the PCV and dropped new plugs in today.

The PCV was ONLY $3.50 at <strike>O'Rileys</strike> Autozone and it took 2.5minutes to install.

Anyways, i was starting to think I had a compression problem, turns out just needed a new PCV cuz it was clogged. Try it guys.

 

is that the little filter we put on? i thought it was called the pVc system? guess not.... owells, so this will vix shaky idle huh? good deal ive been thinking it was a compression issue too haha.

 

Just to enlighten me, explain to me why weak compression would result in a harsher idle.

 

Now before you laugh at me, all the cars ive ever owned were a 73 cutlass, 84 trans am, 85 jeep, and a 87 grand am and all of them had the pcv valve right on the rocker cover case. I`m trying to change my pcv valve and cant find it. lmao.gif

EDIT: Nevermind ... found it ... I`m an idiot ...

 

Um... actually I just remembered I bought everything at autozone not o'rileys that day. my bad.

No, it is the PCV valve which stands for Positive Crankcase Ventilation.

 

It's a good practice if you change it once every 20,000 odd miles, especially in rougher conditions.

 

i changed mine yesterday and what a difference in engine noise

 

umm..
got any pics? i wanna see where it is + what you bought.
