What are the consequences of a clogged PCV valve?
1 Answers
If the PCV valve is clogged, the contaminated gases will flow back into the air cleaner, polluting the filter element and reducing its filtration capacity, resulting in excessively dirty intake mixture. Below is an introduction to the PCV valve: 1. The PCV valve in a car: It is a component of the crankcase forced ventilation system. The crankcase ventilation system is often referred to as the PCV system, exhaust gas recirculation system, etc. 2. Basic installation location: It is generally installed on the valve cover or connected intake pipe. Its function is to prevent blow-by gases from entering the atmosphere and to prevent engine oil from deteriorating. 3. Composition: The PCV valve consists of a valve body, valve, valve cover, and spring, and cannot be disassembled.
