Usually, your air/fuel mixture will become lean, and you can feel the same symptoms as from a lean mixture. Lean/Rich Mixtureīecause of the issues discussed, a faulty PCV valve can have the same symptoms as an intake leak, and the air/fuel mixture can end up being wrong. If you have any strange idle problems, it’s always a good idea to check the PCV valve first.

High Idle RPM/Rough Idleīecause the PCV valve controls the airflow between the crankcase and the intake manifold, a broken PCV valve can have the same symptoms as an intake air leak, which can cause the idle RPM to get too high and other strange idle behaviors like very rough idle. Some older cars with a PCV valve fitted without an electronically controlled engine will not have this symptom.

To read the trouble code from the engine control unit, you have to use an OBD2 scanner. When the engine light shows up, there is a trouble code stored in the engine control module.

The most common and most noticeable sign of all bad PCV valve symptoms is probably a check engine light on your dashboard. Here is a more detailed list of the signs you should look for: Check Engine Light

White/Black/Blue Smoke from the ExhaustĪs you can see, most of the symptoms are engine performance problems, which could also be caused by other issues, so it’s important to research the subject carefully.

I should remember if it ain't broken leave well enough alone or you end up facing Murphy's law.The main symptoms of a bad or failing PCV valve include: Still the original valve was perfectly fine and rattling away nicely. I will start it up tomorrow and take it for a drive and see how it goes. I am letting it sit overnight to allow the thread sealant to fully cure. However, I don't know that I got it in quite properly as my flashlight shows that it's not fully seated with about three threads exposed. I got it started and then used my socket wrench, and went by feel for the 14 ft-lb torque value.

I applied a high temp thread sealer to the PCV valve and used the kleenex in the socket trick to hold the valve so I could thread it in by hand ( I have small hands but there is no way to get your hand in there to seat it). Fortunately, I had a piece of nitrile tubing and with a little heat and lots of effort was able to slip it over the broken end and it looks to have resealed it. I called the Subaru dealer to see about getting one and they are closed for part orders until April 14. Today when I pulled off the hose the end that attaches to the PCV valve split at the base. Somehow they get to stay open thank goodness. Of course they were out, so I had to go to another one.

I then tried to remove the PCV valve but my 1/2 in 19mm socket was too thick due to the proximity of another hose's clip, so I had to put the hose back on and go to the Canadian Tire store to buy a thinner 3/8 in long 19mm. I went to remove the hose and after popped it off I noticed some cracking at the base. The original had a nice rusty patina on it. I wanted to change my PCV valve as preventative maintenance on my 2011. But, no longer needed? A bit bothersome.Īnyone have additional info or experience with this part? Unless the 'new' hose is made of a higher grade of rubber/plastic, I would be tempted to DIY from stock hose. Now, some Subaru engineer had originally determined that a metal shield was needed. The replacement hose, P/N 99071AD690, shown on the right, is a simple hose with a preformed bend. The original hose, about 9' long excluding the bend, shown on the left below, has a metal aluminum shield in the center with stepped-up strengthening of the hose above and below the shield: P/N 99071AD630, apparently no longer available. These parts are relatively inexpensive, and very DIY-able to remove and install.

With the 2011 FB25 just beginning to age a bit, along with its shaky oil consumption history, I decided at 85K miles to replace the PCV valve and its connecting hose as a preemptive measure (well, the hose had already begun to crack at the 90º bend, as others have already experienced).
