What is the Positive Crankcase Ventilation (PCV) Valve all about?

The PCV Valve transfers gasses from inside the crankcase to the intake manifold where they are burned as part of the normal combustion process. Excess fumes are burned by the engine, rather than released into the atmosphere.

Keep in mind:

PCV valve failure can be caused by other engine problems. To ensure that this is not the case, a mechanic should test your engine after replacing the PCV valve, to make sure that the car runs well and doesn’t have other issues.

How it's done:

Disconnect the vacuum hose.
Remove and replace the PCV valve.
Replace PCV hose if appropriate.
Install vacuum hose.

Our recommendation:

In general, it is a good practice to replace the PCV valve during every major tune-up. Changing the engine oil and flushing the engine on a regular basis will prevent sludge build-up inside the oil pan that may cause the PCV valve to fail.

What common symptoms indicate you may need to replace the Positive Crankcase Ventilation (PCV) Valve?

Leaks in the engine compartment.
Leaks underneath the car.
A hissing noise from the engine.
Car runs poorly.

How important is this service?

As excess gas accumulates in your crankcase, the PCV valve redirects it through the intake manifold, where they are used as a normal part of your engine’s process. When the PCV valve fails, your engine won’t redirect this excess gas that it depends on. As such your vehicle will not run smoothly, and it will likely get much worse gas mileage.

Ford Thunderbird V8-6.4L - Car is not starting - Winter Garden, Florida

I will admit, I was a bit apprehensive when I initially submitted a request for services from Your Mechanic mobile auto repair for my 1964 Ford Thunderbird. However, after my visit with Kevin Colon, I could not be happier with your services! Kevin arrived on time, was very professional, thorough, and paid attention to detail. He also explained everything in a manner that made sense to me. I would highly recommend services from Your Mechanic and especially from Kevin Colon! I look forward to working with Kevin again!

Ford Thunderbird V8-7.0L - Car is not starting - San Diego, California

Very nice and knowledgeable mechanic. We were trouble shooting a 1955 Ford Thunderbird that evidently have been been flooded in its Holley teapot carb. We also checked for spark in all the plugs and cylinder just to be sure it wasn't a spark issue. In the end, we managed to "clear the flood" in the teapot and got her running again! Thanks Chris.

Ford Thunderbird V8-4.6L - Brake Pads Replacement (Front) - Las Vegas, Nevada

I thought I only needed brake pads so booked that service. He arrived and saw that I needed the rotors replaced badly. He ran to get the part right away, came back and fixed it all. Only charged me the difference for the additional part. He was very professional and considerate. Would definitely recommend this service to everyone I know.
