Positive Crankcase Ventilation Valve: Description and Operation

Typical PCV Valve

PURPOSE 

The PCV valve regulates the amount of ventilating air and blow-by gas to the intake manifold and prevents backfire from traveling into the
crankcase. 

NOTE:  Do not remove the PCV system from the engine.  Removal of the PCV system will adversely affect fuel economy and engine ventilation
resulting in shorter engine life.
