I've had all of these symptoms because i used a PCV system from a 5 liter engine on my 7 liter engine. The PCV valve was working, but i think the flow was inadequate. With leak down and compression testing, i suspect broken Piston rings and lifters on 2 cylinders. 😔
I changed my push in PCV valve, the old one was loose. The new one rit better. The result was app 10% longer range from the tank is what the trip computer was telling me. Also a bit more get up and go, and more responsiveness. Too bad I didnt know about this earlier.
I have no trouble code, but car struggles to start but after few tries I can start it but it’s guzzling oil and fuel! Sometimes it will idle funny and cut out but majority of the time it runs fine. Also car drives perfect just when you change it takes a while to get the power from the acceleration
Struggling to start the car, excessive oil consumption, and increased fuel consumption can be indicative of several potential issues such as fuel system problems, ignition system issues, worn piston ring issues, PCV system issues or coolant leaks. Given the symptoms you've described, it's important to have a qualified mechanic perform a thorough diagnostic check to pinpoint the exact cause of the issues.

Yes, A bad PCV valve can potentially affect the readings of the O2 (oxygen) sensor in your vehicle, although the relationship between the two components is not direct.

@@gavyndavis290 In my case it was the injector 3 missing it's seal and O ring.

Ran a comp check and it was back to 180 PSI. Dodged a big time bullet. Garages were pestering me for a rebuild :( I've changed the PCV as well. Oil consumption has subsided. VIKA/FEBI PCV's seems to have an issue holding the oil traces and end up dumping excess oil onto the turbo pipe. Make sure to only put an original VW PCV if the issue is isolated to it.

The PCV valve is located on the right side (2009 and earlier models and 2015 and later models) or the left side (2010 through 2014 models) valve cover.
Would this cause a code p0730 to pop up incorrect gear Ratio. My 2005 Chrysler 300c rpm Fluctuate up and down when driving 25 to 40 mph that I noticed. Car has 180,000 miles
p0730 trouble code indicate an issue with the incorrect gear ratio detected in an automatic transmission. This code is usually not directly related to PCV valve
Yes, a malfunctioning PCV (Positive Crankcase Ventilation) valve can contribute to low oil pressure by disrupting the engine's ability to regulate crankcase pressure effectively. This can lead to oil leaks, reduced oil flow, and ultimately, lower oil pressure.
Can this also lead to engine power reduced in GMC terrain? My GMC terrain has the engine check light on and when I move for a long time and i stop and move again the engine power reduced indicator comes on the vehicle slows down and comes to a complete stop after a few meters. Is there any ideas why this is happening?
Yes, it could be related to a malfunctioning PCV valve, but it may not be the sole cause. When the engine stalls after removing the oil cap or dipstick, it indicates an imbalance in the vacuum system, which could be linked to various components, including the PCV valve. I recommend inspecting the PCV valve first and checking for vacuum leaks in the system. If you're unsure, getting a mechanic to run a diagnostic would help pinpoint the exact cause.
Ontop of oil disappearing no leaks or smoke out the back, would the inside of my car smell like exhaust when i use the ac or heater? I checked exhaust manifold and followed the exhaust system and no leaks.
Given the combination of symptoms, it is crucial to address both the oil consumption and the exhaust smell promptly. The exhaust smell inside the cabin is particularly concerning due to the potential for harmful fumes. 1) Check for Internal Oil Leaks: i) Compression Test: Perform a compression test to check for worn piston rings or cylinder walls. ii) PCV Valve: Inspect and replace the PCV valve if necessary. Inspect the Exhaust System: iii) Visual Inspection: Perform a thorough visual inspection of the exhaust manifold, gaskets, and the entire exhaust system for any signs of leaks. iv) Smoke Test: A smoke test can help identify small leaks in the exhaust system that might not be visible. 2) Examine the HVAC System: i) Inspect Blower Motor and Housing: Ensure the blower motor and its housing are free from damage and properly sealed. ii) Cabin Air Filter: Replace the cabin air filter if it’s dirty or improperly installed.
A bad PCV valve typically wouldn't directly cause a drop in voltage for Bank 1 Sensor 1. However, a malfunctioning PCV valve can lead to conditions that might indirectly affect the oxygen sensor's readings. 1) Air-Fuel Mixture Imbalance: A faulty PCV valve can cause unmetered air to enter the intake manifold, leading to a lean air-fuel mixture. The oxygen sensor might detect this imbalance and show lower voltage readings, as it senses a higher amount of oxygen in the exhaust gases. 2) Engine Performance Issues: If the PCV valve is stuck open or closed, it can cause engine performance issues such as rough idling, misfires, or increased oil consumption. These issues can affect exhaust gas composition, which the oxygen sensor monitors, potentially leading to abnormal sensor readings. If you're seeing a drop in voltage from Bank 1 Sensor 1, it's more likely due to an issue directly related to the sensor, wiring, or the engine's air-fuel mixture rather than the PCV valve itself.
Last week, My car was overheat.. & the radiator was crack damage, then after i replaced it .. then i try to drive long way road.. after 55mins later again the temp was so high.. overheating .. the waterpump i check maybe okay.. because when i refill with the water on the radiator it keep swallow the water goes down.. but theres no leak at all .. and its like a pressure .. then is that normal if black oil but after i touch it with my fingger its black liquid .. oil that mixxing with water ? that comes through my exaust? but my engine & radiator colent is clean so far not mixing at all.. & no smoke at all on my exaust but theres a black oil liquid at the exaust what could be the problem? on mazda 2 hatchback demio 2005

@@mikegiffin8617 Yes, a bad PCV valve or charcoal canister can contribute to a P0442 code. The P0442 code indicates a small leak in the vehicle's EVAP system.

Yes, bad MAF sensors and throttle body may also have similar symptoms... You need to properly diagnose the issue before replacing any part of your vehicle.
Single cylinder misfire my Subaru sti due to a defective pvc valve. Tried everything else. Swaps, all tests, noid, compression, leakdown, smoke machine
@@PeterHernandez-lg2eh it is recommended to also inspect your spark plugs, ignition coils, fuel injectors and engine sensors. If you are not competent enough to find issue, it is recommended to contact mechanic
Car is misfiring. Changed spark plugs still happening. Got it checked and cylinder 3&4 air compression test was just slightly under. Would that be the pvc valve? ( I did just have the coolant system repaired two weeks ago as it was leaking )
Yes, a bad PCV valve can cause misfiring. The PCV valve helps regulate the pressure and release gases from the crankcase to be burned in the combustion chamber. A stuck-open PCV valve can allow too much air into the intake manifold, leading to a lean air/fuel mixture. Conversely, a stuck-closed PCV valve can cause a rich air/fuel mixture.
A malfunctioning Positive Crankcase Ventilation (PCV) valve is unlikely to directly cause low compression in an engine cylinder. The PCV valve is primarily responsible for controlling and regulating the flow of blow-by gases from the crankcase back into the intake manifold to be burned in the combustion process.
Yes, a malfunctioning PCV valve can potentially cause engine knocking-like sounds. The PCV valve regulates the flow of gases between the crankcase and the intake manifold. If the valve is stuck open or closed, it can lead to various issues, including increased pressure within the crankcase or improper ventilation. Increased crankcase pressure can result in oil leaks, loss of power, and even engine knocking noises. Knocking noises occur when the air-fuel mixture ignites prematurely in the combustion chamber, causing pressure waves that can sound like knocking or pinging.
I have changed two PCV valves and the sound keeps coming back after 1 whole day of the new product. What causes it can someone explain? The mechanic team we did the fix cannot understand why it happens the whole system is changed they say the car maybe needs the original one cause we put aftermarket i cannot take this anymore.
It sounds like you're dealing with a persistent issue despite replacing the PCV valves. There are a few possibilities for why the noise might keep coming back, even after replacing the parts. Here are some potential causes to consider: 1) Aftermarket Parts Quality: As your mechanic team mentioned, the aftermarket PCV valves might not be performing at the same level as original parts. Some aftermarket components don’t always match OEM (original equipment manufacturer) standards and can cause issues like improper sealing or incorrect pressure regulation. 2) Incorrect Installation: Even though the parts are new, if the PCV valve wasn't installed correctly, it might not be functioning as intended. Small leaks, loose connections, or improper fitment could cause the system to malfunction again. 3) Crankcase Pressure Build-Up: If there is excessive pressure building in the crankcase, even a new PCV valve might not be able to relieve it properly. This could be due to blockages or restrictions elsewhere in the system (like hoses or the oil separator), which could cause abnormal sounds and symptoms. 4) Engine Vacuum Issues: The PCV valve works by using engine vacuum to regulate pressure in the crankcase. If there’s a vacuum leak elsewhere in the system, it could affect how the PCV valve functions, leading to recurring noises. 5) Oil Contamination: If the oil has become contaminated with debris or sludge, it can clog up the PCV system, even after installing a new valve. This could prevent the valve from operating properly and lead to abnormal sounds. If the mechanic suspects the aftermarket PCV valve is the problem, replacing it with an OEM part could help. In the meantime, you might also want to have them inspect the entire PCV system and the engine’s vacuum system to ensure there are no other contributing factors.
The sound today almost vanished and i only hear it for literally the moment i turn off the engine just one quick whinning . If it didn’t made this sound not even when i turn off the engine i would say it was really gone. But i prefer this than doing it continiously. At least the whole driving is actually quiet now
A big hole in the PCV hose can lead to several issues, but it is unlikely to cause a severe oil leak directly. The PCV system primarily deals with air and gas flow rather than oil. However, if there is excessive pressure buildup in the crankcase due to a malfunctioning PCV system, it can potentially cause oil leaks from other seals or gaskets in the engine. Excessive pressure can force oil past seals and gaskets, leading to leaks. If you have noticed a significant oil leak after the PCV hose developed a hole, it is possible that the increased pressure caused oil to escape from other areas. It is recommended to inspect the engine thoroughly to identify the exact source of the oil leak and repair it accordingly.
Quick question... I broke a bolt to the exhaust vvt solenoid, so nothing is holding it in place, but it's fit pretty firm. You think it's safe to drive like that?
Could this cause an oil leak and smell in the cabin? After warm up 750 is idle speed. Is this clearly PCV damage? In the long term, what damage can be done to the engine in such a situation? tell me please
Yes, a malfunctioning Positive Crankcase Ventilation (PCV) valve can potentially contribute to an oil leak in your vehicle. The PCV valve plays a crucial role in maintaining proper crankcase ventilation and preventing the buildup of pressure inside the engine. Excessive pressure in the crankcase can force oil to leak through gaskets, seals, and other vulnerable points in the engine. Additionally, if the PCV valve is stuck in the closed position, it may cause a vacuum in the crankcase, leading to oil leaks as well. An oil leak may also cause smell in your car cabin. Over the long term, this can contribute to decreased engine performance, reduced fuel efficiency, and increased risk of costly repairs.
The Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) valve is an important component in an internal combustion engine, and its primary function is to reduce the emissions of nitrogen oxides (NOx) by recirculating a portion of the engine's exhaust gases back into the intake manifold.
Experiencing misfiring, white smoke from the exhaust, and a sudden decrease in engine oil levels can be concerning issues, often indicating underlying problems with your vehicle. The issue may be a Leaking Head Gasket, Coolant Leak, Failed Piston Rings, Cylinder Head or Engine Block Cracks, clogged PCV valve or breather hose. It is recommended to have your vehicle inspected by a qualified mechanic as soon as possible.
White smoke usually means that coolant is being burned in the engine, which means that something is drastically wrong. The most common cause of this is a blown head gasket.
My civic is burning too much fuel, changed both lamda sensors and it still didnt solve the issue. Hopefully this will do it, it all makes sense since its burning quite some oil.
If your Honda Civic is burning excessive fuel even after replacing both lambda sensors, there could be several other potential causes for the issue such as air filter, fuel filter, fuel injectors, fuel lines, or fuel pressure regulators or others.
Thanks for the reply. You were right that it wasnt root cause. Aftet replacing it trims got a bit lower, but engine started reving up and down indefnitely. It could be that it wasnt airtght or smth, but even after plugging the pcv hose going to intake didnt solve high trims.
Mine was rocker cover. Hissing from coil pack area. Slight air hole, was hissing. I had slight white smoke when on incline. Coolant pressure rise. New rocker cover, gasket... it stopped.
A bad PCV valve is unlikely to be the direct cause of white smoke coming out of the air filter. The PCV valve is responsible for regulating the flow of blow-by gases from the engine's crankcase to the intake manifold, where they can be burned in the combustion process. White smoke usually indicates the presence of coolant or water vapor in the combustion chambers. Common causes of white smoke are coolant leaks, Condensation, Faulty Fuel Injection, or Incorrect Fuel Mixture
@@MechanicalBoosthey brother question i’m having white smoke come out the car but i fixed the engine heads and all parts are new could it be the pcv valve? i only see the white smoke when i accelerate
@@BigGoon600 White smoke from the exhaust can be indicative of several issues, even after replacing the engine heads and other parts. Here are a few possibilities, including the PCV valve: 1) Bad PCV Valve 2) Coolant Leak 3) Residual Coolant 4) Condensation 5) Oil Leak 6) Incorrect Assembly
When by design they'll run .2-.4inH2O crankcase vac. This is about equal to you sitting at rest and drawing a breath, almost a neutral vac/pressure condition. That's a problem to me.
@tbone6354 Now my car is making a clunking sound. Do you know why? I did what you said. Put ball bearings in my spark plug holes. Ran smooth for like 2 seconds. Than I started hearing these new noises. Now what do I do?
No, it is not better to drive your car harder and faster with a bad PCV (Positive Crankcase Ventilation) valve. Driving aggressively with a malfunctioning PCV valve can exacerbate the problem and potentially cause more serious damage to your engine. A bad PCV valve can cause increased pressure in the crankcase. Driving harder increases this pressure even more, which can lead to oil leaks, blown seals, or gaskets.
Thank you, robot man! 🙂

If the valve is stuck open or closed, it can lead to various issues, including increased pressure within the crankcase or improper ventilation.
Increased crankcase pressure can result in oil leaks, loss of power, and even engine knocking noises. Knocking noises occur when the air-fuel mixture ignites prematurely in the combustion chamber, causing pressure waves that can sound like knocking or pinging.
I have changed two PCV valves and the sound keeps coming back after 1 whole day of the new product. What causes it can someone explain? The mechanic team we did the fix cannot understand why it happens the whole system is changed they say the car maybe needs the original one cause we put aftermarket i cannot take this anymore.
It sounds like you're dealing with a persistent issue despite replacing the PCV valves. There are a few possibilities for why the noise might keep coming back, even after replacing the parts. Here are some potential causes to consider:
1) Aftermarket Parts Quality: As your mechanic team mentioned, the aftermarket PCV valves might not be performing at the same level as original parts. Some aftermarket components don’t always match OEM (original equipment manufacturer) standards and can cause issues like improper sealing or incorrect pressure regulation.
2) Incorrect Installation: Even though the parts are new, if the PCV valve wasn't installed correctly, it might not be functioning as intended. Small leaks, loose connections, or improper fitment could cause the system to malfunction again.
3) Crankcase Pressure Build-Up: If there is excessive pressure building in the crankcase, even a new PCV valve might not be able to relieve it properly. This could be due to blockages or restrictions elsewhere in the system (like hoses or the oil separator), which could cause abnormal sounds and symptoms.
4) Engine Vacuum Issues: The PCV valve works by using engine vacuum to regulate pressure in the crankcase. If there’s a vacuum leak elsewhere in the system, it could affect how the PCV valve functions, leading to recurring noises.
5) Oil Contamination: If the oil has become contaminated with debris or sludge, it can clog up the PCV system, even after installing a new valve. This could prevent the valve from operating properly and lead to abnormal sounds.
If the mechanic suspects the aftermarket PCV valve is the problem, replacing it with an OEM part could help. In the meantime, you might also want to have them inspect the entire PCV system and the engine’s vacuum system to ensure there are no other contributing factors.
The sound today almost vanished and i only hear it for literally the moment i turn off the engine just one quick whinning . If it didn’t made this sound not even when i turn off the engine i would say it was really gone. But i prefer this than doing it continiously. At least the whole driving is actually quiet now
OMG, my car is exhibiting EVERY SYMPTOM IN THIS VIDEO, calling the mechanic ASAP Monday morning!!!
how it go? u fix it?
What is a anderpanu?
My pcv hose got a big hole in it. Can that cause a severe oil leak after the car been running?
A big hole in the PCV hose can lead to several issues, but it is unlikely to cause a severe oil leak directly.
The PCV system primarily deals with air and gas flow rather than oil. However, if there is excessive pressure buildup in the crankcase due to a malfunctioning PCV system, it can potentially cause oil leaks from other seals or gaskets in the engine. Excessive pressure can force oil past seals and gaskets, leading to leaks.
If you have noticed a significant oil leak after the PCV hose developed a hole, it is possible that the increased pressure caused oil to escape from other areas. It is recommended to inspect the engine thoroughly to identify the exact source of the oil leak and repair it accordingly.
@MechanicalBoost good news is it was just ac water dripping on an old stain on the concrete.
Quick question... I broke a bolt to the exhaust vvt solenoid, so nothing is holding it in place, but it's fit pretty firm. You think it's safe to drive like that?
@@Justin-uv4jiif it’s got oil pressure probably not. Would pop out over time
Could this cause an oil leak and smell in the cabin? After warm up 750 is idle speed. Is this clearly PCV damage? In the long term, what damage can be done to the engine in such a situation? tell me please
Yes, a malfunctioning Positive Crankcase Ventilation (PCV) valve can potentially contribute to an oil leak in your vehicle. The PCV valve plays a crucial role in maintaining proper crankcase ventilation and preventing the buildup of pressure inside the engine. Excessive pressure in the crankcase can force oil to leak through gaskets, seals, and other vulnerable points in the engine. Additionally, if the PCV valve is stuck in the closed position, it may cause a vacuum in the crankcase, leading to oil leaks as well. An oil leak may also cause smell in your car cabin. Over the long term, this can contribute to decreased engine performance, reduced fuel efficiency, and increased risk of costly repairs.
So... what is EGR then?
The Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) valve is an important component in an internal combustion engine, and its primary function is to reduce the emissions of nitrogen oxides (NOx) by recirculating a portion of the engine's exhaust gases back into the intake manifold.
Install oil catch cans
Please i noticed my car is misfiring, white smoke from the exhaust, and shorten of engine oil. Imagine 5ltr of engine oil cant take me for 1week
Experiencing misfiring, white smoke from the exhaust, and a sudden decrease in engine oil levels can be concerning issues, often indicating underlying problems with your vehicle. The issue may be a Leaking Head Gasket, Coolant Leak, Failed Piston Rings, Cylinder Head or Engine Block Cracks, clogged PCV valve or breather hose. It is recommended to have your vehicle inspected by a qualified mechanic as soon as possible.
Will this cause high oil pressure if bad??
Yes a faulty PCV valve may also cause high oil pressure but it is very rare
Would it make my truck rattle a little when hot?
Yeah it can
Im seeing a lot of white smoke and oil type of liquid coming out the exhaust. Can this be part of the problem?
White smoke usually means that coolant is being burned in the engine, which means that something is drastically wrong. The most common cause of this is a blown head gasket.
Thank you so much for this video متشکرم از شما آقای محترم
Will this result to limp mode as well?
Yes
Im getting blow by smoke from under the oil cap,what could that be from? Worn out gaskets?
I would say piston rings
dafuq is with these random videos.... you could have put a list...
My civic is burning too much fuel, changed both lamda sensors and it still didnt solve the issue. Hopefully this will do it, it all makes sense since its burning quite some oil.
If your Honda Civic is burning excessive fuel even after replacing both lambda sensors, there could be several other potential causes for the issue such as air filter, fuel filter, fuel injectors, fuel lines, or fuel pressure regulators or others.
Thanks for the reply. You were right that it wasnt root cause. Aftet replacing it trims got a bit lower, but engine started reving up and down indefnitely. It could be that it wasnt airtght or smth, but even after plugging the pcv hose going to intake didnt solve high trims.
Mine was rocker cover. Hissing from coil pack area. Slight air hole, was hissing. I had slight white smoke when on incline. Coolant pressure rise.
New rocker cover, gasket... it stopped.
Good Job
Would the pcv valve be the cause of white smoke coming out of airfilter?
A bad PCV valve is unlikely to be the direct cause of white smoke coming out of the air filter. The PCV valve is responsible for regulating the flow of blow-by gases from the engine's crankcase to the intake manifold, where they can be burned in the combustion process.
White smoke usually indicates the presence of coolant or water vapor in the combustion chambers. Common causes of white smoke are coolant leaks, Condensation, Faulty Fuel Injection, or Incorrect Fuel Mixture
@@MechanicalBoosthey brother question i’m having white smoke come out the car but i fixed the engine heads and all parts are new could it be the pcv valve? i only see the white smoke when i accelerate
@@BigGoon600 White smoke from the exhaust can be indicative of several issues, even after replacing the engine heads and other parts. Here are a few possibilities, including the PCV valve:
1) Bad PCV Valve
2) Coolant Leak
3) Residual Coolant
4) Condensation
5) Oil Leak
6) Incorrect Assembly
@@MechanicalBoost i appreciate your reply man thank you i am going to change the pcv valve and see if that does it 🙏🙏
What trouble code number is caused by a bad pvc valve. So we know what to look for.
Here are some common trouble codes that may be triggered by problems related to the PCV system: P0171, P0172, P0505, P0506, P0441, P0446, P0130, P0141
Zero crank case pressure?
When by design they'll run .2-.4inH2O crankcase vac. This is about equal to you sitting at rest and drawing a breath, almost a neutral vac/pressure condition.
That's a problem to me.
where the beginning of pcv velve where i see hose connecting i take hose off i see little oil
nissan sentra buy the oem pcv is different from the after market.
Thanks
Thnk u ❤❤❤❤
Computer generated ... when did you even see a car with a 5-speed stick transmission? I had one of the last ones in 1989 ...in a Toyota Camry!
you realize a lot of people still drive really old cars, right? like you aren’t the only person on the planet.
I had one in 2010. Another one in 2012. You can still buy some cars with manual transmissions
I have two K1500 farm pickups w/5 speed and a 5 speed 95 VW Passat. Love 'em all.@@tehMaloWalo
In the UK 85% of cars are manual lol
many many cars are 5 speed manual stick. Because, well, other countries exist you know..
A very helpful tip is to place 2 ball bearings into spark plug hole. Then fit the spark plug. This will make the engine run smoother
My engine is running really rough I’m going to give your suggestion a try. Thanks for the tip!
@tbone6354 Now my car is making a clunking sound. Do you know why? I did what you said. Put ball bearings in my spark plug holes. Ran smooth for like 2 seconds. Than I started hearing these new noises. Now what do I do?
10 unusual engine noises.
- shows video of annoyed woman.
😂
Arigato 🙂
My car had all the symptoms thought my trans was going on thanks for the video you are a master 🫡
Shows a woman during a noisy engine that grunts comment.
😂😂😂 interesting

drivel
So it's better to drive it harder and faster?
No, it is not better to drive your car harder and faster with a bad PCV (Positive Crankcase Ventilation) valve. Driving aggressively with a malfunctioning PCV valve can exacerbate the problem and potentially cause more serious damage to your engine. A bad PCV valve can cause increased pressure in the crankcase. Driving harder increases this pressure even more, which can lead to oil leaks, blown seals, or gaskets.
@@MechanicalBoost OK thank's for the reply, I have a 2011 VE it's done 161000kms I don't drive it hard at all.
