- We change out the PCV valve in Trevor's 2006 Nissan 350Z. The PCV is a very simple and typically easy to replace part that is quite over looked. I also want to mention you should replace any hoses that are cracked.

Thanks for keeping this vid up man. I watched this vid a few days ago and decided to get up and change mine this morning. Your vid help tremendously.
So glad to hear it was able to help you!
I removed my pcv valve and music didn't start playing when I was undoing it. Can you explain what I did wrong?...
You have to set the radio to service mode.
AnthonyJ350 hi Anthony , I have 350z no engine light , but rpm little bit go up and down not stable like 500rpm to 600 then back to 500rpm when on park . U think dirty PCV Valve ?
@@autoperformance503 Change it out if you don't remember the last time you did. You can also do an ECU reset to help it relearn (I have a video on it). It could also be the camshaft position sensors, I just put a video out on that.
AnthonyJ350 ok
AnthonyJ350 the pcv valve should be oily right not dry ?
Great vid. I was doing a throttle body cleaning and replacing the spark plugs on my 370 the other day when I noticed the left bank plugs all had oil on the bottom of them, but the right bank plugs were all dry. My first thought was a bad pcv valve, so I went ahead and just replaced them both. The check balls weren't completely stuck, but the valves were definitely heavily restricted. My engine is breathing and idling noticeably better now.
That's awesome, good job catching that!
😂😂💀 bro I died when the music started playing
Gotta make the job exciting right? 😃
Interesting! Lot easier than it was on my 1997 Nissan Pickup.
Thanks for watching!
Amazing how much of a difference this made on my 40k mi car lol. There was this foul smell and smoke coming from the back of the engine passenger side and now there’s no smell and no smoke 😉👍🏻👌🏻
Awesome! You might also want to look into an oil catch can as well.
Didn’t work for me. I’ve replaced the PCV with an OEM part but smoke still comes out of behind the passenger side engine area.
@@Alantek8 Try taking out the coils, is there oil pooling up on the spark plugs? Also is the valve cover clean or is oil leaking around it?
AnthonyJ350 it looks like there is oil leaking around the valve cover.
@@Alantek8 It's time for a valve cover replacement. What kind of oil do you use and how often do you change it? Also what's the mileage on the vehicle?
Great video buddy, thank you 🙂👌👍
Thanks for the visit!
Great vid btw!
Thank you!
Hey man, I was wondering if you could do a video on how to install a backup camera on the 350z? I got the Moonet one off amazon, and I'm trying to install it myself. I got all the cables routed, but just iffy on the wiring procedures. Any suggestions would be awesome!
I have this video, ruclips.net/video/MrcpZcuNMHE/видео.html
It’s great that you’re still commenting, I heard Infiniti/Nissan cars are very picky with parts (I had experience with using a autozone crank shaft sensor and a oem z1 crankshaft sensor) would the car be picky with a part like this if I were to get one at my local autozone/o’reilleys?
For engine sensors, you're better off getting OEM or if you can figure out who makes the OEM, buy that brand. Here's a video that might help ruclips.net/video/KXj9onZWVlg/видео.html
Rock auto sells hitachi and that is the oem brand
thanks fellow canadian and VQ owner!
Kijiji User Glad it helped!
You should've told us not to torque it down hard though. I broke my valve cover :( haha just joking thanks for the heads up on that
Doing this tomorrow on my 350z! Last part before idk what else to do still lights im also chnging the O2sensors for my odyssey 😊 THANK YOU as always you ROCK!
Awesome Trish! Glad to hear you're keeping up with your maintenance 🙂
@@AnthonyJ350 can I change this part without having to worry about air going in where it's not supposed to? Idk stupid question 😐
@@TrishZenCorner Yup, just clean the area before you remove the old one so debris doesn't go inside.
@@AnthonyJ350 unfortunately didn't work, still have code C1109 do you have any video or idea of how to chk abs harness? 🤔 I've already replaced pump,speed sensors, pressure sensor, pcv sensor, crankshaft , camshaft, abs modual and still have code 😔
@@TrishZenCorner checked all the fuses and changed/ bled the brake fluid? Is the ABS light on?
would a pvc delete be good for a na motor please if u enlighten me on your knowledge,puttin a filter on pvc ?
No you need the system to work properly as a sealed system. An oil catch can inline will keep things clean. Watch this video ruclips.net/video/9VuoRIANa2Q/видео.html
Great video!!! Is a hissing sound supposed to be coming from the hose that connects from the pcv valve to the intake at all times? Mine hisses all the time.
tgoodm1 you have either a cracked or its dry rotted. change it buddy take it from me and my bad experience of clouding everyone for 20 miles lmao
So u not suppose to hear no sound from the pcv vale mine hissis a lil
@@oldschoolliveforthefunk4012 get that thang outta there if u hear a hissin ur car is aboutta be pissin OIL once that pcv valve fully brakes
Breaks*
1:57 jesus scared the shit out of me. sounded like pressure was getting released or something
whats the point of music right when your uncrewing it lol
Out of nowhere right?
Are you some kind of Idiot?
Hey what's up J350! I jus bought another 350z clp days ago, an after doin my 120 pnt inspection, my pcv valve was hella loose an the hose is hrd as a Rock an not sealing on it! Also got low oil 🛢️ pressure readings after a fresh oil chg😕! check light for air leak 😨🤔! Guna chg both tomorrow an hope it fixes my check light! An I gotta replace the knock sensor harness P0327! Done them both on my other Z ! 👍😎
Nice! Let us know how it goes!
It's the same procedure as changing the PCV on a G35 Infiniti coupe 2007.thanks!
Roberto Jr Good to know, glad it helped :)
Mines keep stripping any advice
Thanks for the video, I replaced mine and now unfortunately can hear a hissing sound from it, must be the hose so ill replace that and the clamps, they are quite old lol
Definitely check your hoses.
I I noticed that oil was flowing out of the dipstick area I wonder if this is the problem
Is something plugged on you PCV system?
Can these be my problem on the code p0300 .. I had changed my spark plugs and coils. And still not working.. and year ago a replace de valve cover gaskets
Did you try changing the PCV valve and doing an ECU reset?
Hello, Anthony, I have a question I have an automatic 2003 Nissan 350z
with 181,000 miles i did a trasmission fluid exchange at 73,000 and
another i think at 130,000, now do you think i should do another one?
the fluid is light brown like in your video. People are telling me not
to do it becuase of the high milage, the car runs great i have no
problems, the fluid does not smell burn or nor does it slip. What do you
think? Im nervous in getting a change and messing up the transmission.
Please I need your advice,oh yea nissan does not recommend flushes if
that helps. Thank you.
Ya I wouldn't do a flush, lots of little components you don't want something blocking a passage way or something. I don't know. I bring my truck to my transmission shop every 40 to 50,000 KM and they just say as long as the fluid is cherry red (GM Auto) it should be good.
Did you talk to your transmission shop or Nissan tech you trust? I personally like to keep the fluid fresh on regular intervals, and I tend to drive my stuff hard from time to time. I don't use any additives in the transmissions just high quality synthetic that's meant for manufacturers specifications.
On another note, do these "people" work in shops or on transmissions? Cause I always asks the specialists that I work with what is the best course of action.
Jose if you’ve done it regularly then there’s no reason why you can’t change it again just change about 70% holds about 11 quarts so do 7 and then change sooner next time after
@@ThePhilybluntz thanks for the response. The OEM transmission gave up on me at 223k miles. I paid to get it rebuilt. Now the car has 253k miles. Still runs great.
I have one hell of a ringing noice in my 05 350 engine area it sorta changes pitch when I accelerate. I looked at a vid where a BMW had the exact same noise and it said failed PCV valve could this be my problem?
I blew out the throttle body gasket recently, could be that.
@@AnthonyJ350 It was a gasket not sure if throttle body either way its fixed and im selling the pos
i have a hissing noise from that area and have an evap code, no oil consumption tho, could it be my pcv valve?
If it's old, I would just change it.
hello, would torqueing? this to 18 inch pounds work?
Just tighten it snug by feel. It's all plastic parts including the factory valve cover.
I have a po507 on my 03 350z did jdm swap 10k miles on it so far have all 4 new o2 sensers.....it has a czp 75mm hitachi throttle body and spacer with z1 cold air intake that sits just behind the bumper in front of radiator. And a new mass air flower sensor and i have had the czp tb for 3 months now ...i just tried doing throttle body reset still throwing the same p0507 code would this help out at all changing pvc valve ....and if not could u point me in the right direction any help would be much appreciated cause uts my daily
Did you try the full ECU reset ruclips.net/video/5tQm28K32SQ/видео.html
@@AnthonyJ350I have the same issues as the other commentor and the ECU reset didn't work for me ):
Any pointers?
Can this help with a p0300 code? Car idles very rough and even worse revving engine up
Mohamad Alfroukh I had this code when I bought the car and it drove me nuts. 1st check spark plugs then check coil pack then check if engine has correct pressure. If the engine is fine then it might be an electrical problem. For me it was an electrical problem. Hope this helped
If it's not ignition coil related, it might be the camshaft position sensors.
Would this cause a misfire? I’ve changed all my spark plugs and coil packs already...
Cam and crank sensors are likely the culprit
What did you do to solve the issue? Have misfire issue myself.
Could it cause a hissing leak sound from the manifold
Anywhere there's vacuum could cause a leak and/ or noise.
What is that braided plastic hose thats next to the pvc valve? I have a crack in mine & need to replace.
jerealms lmao
I would take it to your local mechanic
My pcv valve keeps stripping when I try to take it off any advice ??
Penetrating lube safe for plastic like Fluid Film. Let it set overnight and trying using Channel Locks to grab and loosen it.
wheres the pcv valve on 2002 sentra 1.8l?
crosshair The valve is typically on the valve cover.
That hose that is connected to it where can you get one? I um broke mine when changing out the spark plugs and ignition coils lol seriously though need to find another one
You can just go to your local auto parts store and purchase vacuum hose. Make sure you tell them it will be subjected to oil so they give you the appropriate hose. Just measure the length or bring the old hose in so they can match it.
AnthonyJ350 thank you sir
@@brendonm6627 No problem
Do you recommend to replace OEM air intake hoses to aftermarket silicone ones for our VQ35HR engine?
Definitely, Z1 or Mishimoto make some nice ones. Match them with K&N drop in replacement air filters.
@@AnthonyJ350 cool. Which one do yoh recommend? Z1 or mishimoto?
@@Qkfltpdls777 I run Mishimoto, it's reinforced inside. Not sure how Z1 constructs their intake tubes.
@@AnthonyJ350 I see. For VQ35HR, do i have to cut off a little bit to use Mishimoto’s?
@@AnthonyJ350 OEM ones have wrinkles, so it is easy to remove, but silicone tubes look like hard to remove... how do you remove them without damaging the edges?
I recently replaced this on my g35 would this help out with the oil consumption problem? Let me know thanks!
Rudy De La Torre It can if yours is faulty. Driving the car really hard and not letting it warm up after initial start will contribute to oil consumption.
AnthonyJ350 I always let my car warm up, but I do drive it hard 😗 so I'll monitor it over the next week or 2 and I will let you know what results i got! Thanks for the video!
Rudy De La Torre Sounds good
Rudy De La Torre how's it doing so far?
Steven Lema i haven't had no luck lol I honestly think I'm having massive blowby on my pistons rings 🙃 cause I did a lot of research on trying to reduce oil consumption and I'm having to add in 8+ quarts on top of 5qts that is normally added when you do a oil change...
Is it best to change wile motor is warmed up or cold?
I do this cold
@@AnthonyJ350 awesome. Thanks for response and the help.
Where is it located on a 2000 Nissan Xterra please get back to me it's a v6 ty
did you ever find it?
Google people come on lol
Hi, i need help locating my pcv valve on a 2003 nissan murano SL. I have the part but im not great at cars and i want to fix this myself. Im not seeing any hose remotely close to having a pcv valve on the end of it. I have removed a few hoses with no luck.
The Murano's engine is sideways compared to the 350Z. Did you look at the back of the engine bay? If you're comfortable with it I recommend you bring it to an experienced professional.
AnthonyJ350 , i may have found it earlier on the backside of the intake manifold and it was sideways on the far backside but i couldnt see what i was doing after removing the hose and felt around for the plastic valve and all i felt was metal so i clamped hose back and called it a day. Im so frustrated by all this but i agree i need a pro. Thanks for your speedy response.
Tomara Thompson Ya even with small inexpensive items, if you get frustrated with the procedure, in haste you might do damage and cost a lot more to fix. If I'm not comfortable with certain things I just bring it to a specialist.
AnthonyJ350 , one last question; will my car pass an emissions test in this condition?
Tomara Thompson Does your emission testing put it on a dyno or just hook up a scan tool? Usually newer vehicles they just hook up a computer but I don't know what they do in your area.
I am currently getting 12mpg in city
Nissan 350z 2008

Checked filters they're clean. Oil is good.
I know that a bad pcv valve can make the car a pig on gas. Could this be a possibility and should I check and replace.
If you don't know how old it is, just change it. Also factor in how aggressive is your driving style? How long is the commute?
@@AnthonyJ350 More than likely I am going to get a full tune up so I will be doing this.
@@DragoMusivini Let us know how the car drives after. Also consider changing out the Camshaft and Crankshaft position sensors, just due to the age of the vehicle.
@@DragoMusivini ruclips.net/video/1VHMGRViJ6g/видео.html
@@AnthonyJ350 ok
Could this be the cause of a hissing sound coming exactly from there lol. Thanks ins advance
Ya if there is a leak because it's sucking air. The PCV could be cracked or the hose.
AnthonyJ350 Alright, hopefully it its. A 15$ fix. Aye also you you know if this affects the Rpm being to low at idle. Its at exactly 500rpm. If not, do you know how can I possibly fix this too. Thanks bro
Yuyo did you solve ur low idle
@@Radgun yo I think I’m having the same issue as you had I hear a hissing sound and when I’m idling the rpm goes down and my car kinda wants to turn off it also makes a noise from the exhaust (like a helicopter noise) were you able to figure out what the problem was??
@@theesamurai1824 same for me, did you ever figure out what the problem was?
Could a bad PCV valve cause cylinder misfire?
Maybe, at this age of the vehicle I would lean towards vacuum lean. Or bad camshaft position sensor. A lot of camshaft sensor failures are happening now. I'm working on a sensor video this week showing the parts I chose and installation.
AnthonyJ350 it’s a 2005 Infiniti g35 and my Pcv is actually seeping oil out and my VVT gasket is bad as well but I don’t have oil in my spark plug wells it’s just giving me a random misfire but I know it’s coming from bank one side
@@nikolasavila9027 I would definitely change the PCV valve if it's leaking oil and do an ECU reset. Is it telling you which bank the misfire is on?
AnthonyJ350 nope it says random misfire but I’ve talked to other VQ35DE owners and they said it’s most likely coming from bank one because of the PCV being there and with my leaky VVT gasket as well
@@nikolasavila9027 I would address both but change the PCV right away since it's cheap and easy.
What website did you buy the Valve from?
I just bought it from my local auto parts store
@@AnthonyJ350 thank you! I’ll check if they have any at the moment
hi fried I have the VQ35DE are there 2 pcv valves in it or is there only one??
There's a PCV on the passenger side and a breather going into the intake on the driver side. You should only need to change the passenger side though and when I say passenger that's referring to a left hand drive vehicle.
My 37 has oil in the passenger side air filter but idk if it's my actual car or the dealer did something so I would come back "been to the other infiniti dealer in my area and they tried to cuck me there already" anyway, is it the same for the g37 by chance? Looks familiar, just cleaned up my engine bay as well early today, regardless I'll find my result when I get home from work
Might need to run an oil catch can in the vehicle. ruclips.net/video/iSzU-cvlLO8/видео.html
My 2008 G with VQ35HR has 100,000km on it. When do you replace the PCV valve??
There is no maintenance interval. I would change it if you see oil around it or every 30K miles.
@@AnthonyJ350 hmmm i see. I checked mine and couldnt see oil around, but the white plastic part became yellow ...
@@Qkfltpdls777 If you don't know when it was changed last, I would just change it. They're cheap
@@AnthonyJ350 Ok. Do I have to disconnect the battery before replacing the PCV valve?
@@Qkfltpdls777 It's a good idea to always remove the negative terminal whenever working on your vehicle.
Mine is full of oil bro what should I do? 🙏🏼🤧
Install a new one and install an oil catch can.
This is the oil catch can I use ruclips.net/video/iSzU-cvlLO8/видео.html
Theres 2 PCV'S right? one for each valve cover?
Clit Commander There's another one on the intake tube. That one only gets used at WOT.

Snug

Can I use A wrench to remove the clip
The clip on the hose? Of the PCV valve?
AnthonyJ350 yeah
AnthonyJ350 when I change the pcv valve do I tighten it a lot or just enough to where it won't get tight
Snug not too tight. Watch the video when I install it I talk about it. The valve cover is plastic so you have to be very careful not to crack it or it's an expensive repair.
AnthonyJ350 ok I changed it I notice my oil pressure when I'm at a stop light stays at 30 psi when before I changed it it was at 20 what does that mean?
How do u kno if u have a bad pcv hose????
Looks cracked or deteriorated.
@@AnthonyJ350 k thanks. Just put new valve cover and it sounds like a leak idk by hose looks still good

@@AnthonyJ350 yes new valve cover. Got it from the dealership
Check the hose from the intake tube to the driver's side valve cover
Got turnt up when the wrench came thru! Lol
Sorry lol
Good video but its not a 24mm deep socket its a 23mm deep socket fyi
Thanks for sharing!
Yeahhhh....i just did the filter/cap mod cause who wants oil going into there intake lol
Hyperlink Better off with an oil catch can. If you research PCV systems they are very beneficial overall for engine performance.
But the catch can and the filter are essentially doing the same thing. Collecting vs ventilating. Either way the oil is no longer venting into the intake manifold. So what would be the issue?
The PCV is still in place. I didnt remove the actual valve just added a filter onto the end of the PCV. Im sure you know what im referring too.
Hyperlink Did you just replace the pcv with a filter to atmosphere? If you look it up you need vacuum for the PCV system to work. Without vacuum you're leaving a bunch of nasty stuff in the crankcase. Your car makes no difference to me. I'm just saying research what the PCV system is suppose to do, then make a decision.
PCV is still in place. A filter was added to the end of the pcv for ventilation into atmosphere.
can this part result in a P0174 code?
Maybe if it were cracked? Did you work on the car recently? You might have a vacuum leaking causing the code. Check the intake tube and make sure it's installed properly. I took mine out and a boot folded from underneath causing a vacuum leak on my car.
Can you showed that on a video the leaking valve
I buy this from Nissan, yes a few extra $$. But extra insurance as well.
If you're not sure, you can't go wrong with dealer quality parts.
Whats with the 80s bush porn music at 2:15 ...cmon man...haha Everything was going smooth
Thanks for the feedback!
I just called my Nissan dealership for a PCV valve. They said Nissan PCVs are good for life. They do not even stock them. Fishy no?!?!?
Jay Racz Try your local parts store. What vehicle is it? Some don't have a valve anymore like my truck is just an opening.
2003 350z with 66666k on it. I just looked up 350z pcv to see where it was before I did my oil change and valve swap. The dealer seems to never replace pcv’s in any Nissan car. Kinda dumb considering it is 12 bucks and if it goes you can blow gaskets. Never trust a dealer to fix your ride!
Oh and I got one from Napa. My original was like the one you replaced it with and my replacement was like the one you replaced. Ha!
jay racz Ya dealerships are weird. They want to do maintenance but I feel vehicle longevity isn't their number 1 concern.
gosh is that a plastic valve cover
Yup, I have some custom CNC ones being made. Hope to do a video on them next year.
@@AnthonyJ350 Nissan has really cheeped out I think. To reduce costs.
Why on earth would a valve cover be made of plastic .
@@dfields9511 Most vehicles now use plastic valve covers unfortunately. Look at all the Chrysler HEMI motors, Hondas the list goes on. So not fair to just single out Nissan as this is an industry trend.
