What is the PVC valve in a car?
1 Answers
The PVC valve in a car is a component of the Positive Crankcase Ventilation (PCV) system on the engine. Its main functions are: to direct gases from the crankcase into the intake manifold through the PCV valve, and to allow a small amount of air to enter the intake manifold directly from the air filter via the PCV valve. Additional information: If the PVC valve malfunctions, it can affect the car in the following ways: the engine may shake during operation, idle unevenly, and emit large amounts of white smoke from the exhaust pipe. Since it is located in the crankcase, a faulty PVC valve can cause internal corrosion, accelerate wear, and further shorten the engine's lifespan.
