A critical component of emissions compliance testing. Helps ensure your vehicle meets emissions standards. Regular maintenance helps avoid poor engine performance, rough idling, and stalling. Designed to reduce air pressure inside the engine. Contributes to a fuel efficient and smooth engine.
PCV stands for positive crankcase ventilation. The PCV valve was the first emissions system component introduced into a production vehicle. Essential for emissions compliance testing, FRAM PCV valves help ensure your vehicle meets emissions standards. Regular maintenance helps avoid poor engine performance, rough idling, and stalling. To remove the PCV valve, simply pull it out of the valve cover and disconnect the hose. To test the PCV valve, start the engine, pull the valve out of the valve cover, and place your thumb over the last hole. If you hear a slight click, the PCV valve is good. If there is no vacuum in the hole, either the valve is bad or the hose is bad. To check if the hose is bad, remove it and put your thumb over the end. If there is a vacuum, replace the PCV valve. If not, replace the hose. Please note that PCV valves are sized appropriately for specific engine applications. An incorrectly applied PCV valve can cause driveability problems by allowing too much or too little air to flow. The PCV valve is a simple device, but it is designed to reduce air pressure inside the engine and redirect it to the air intake system. The air is contaminated with oil, gasoline, and metal residue from the engine, which affects the operation of the valve assembly. The valves can plug up over time, causing the engine to run poorly, making less power and reducing fuel economy. It's a simple and inexpensive repair that contributes to a smooth engine with low fuel consumption.
