Where is the PCV valve located and how can its functionality be checked?

You will find the PCV valve in the intake manifold. For you to confirm it is working correctly, start by disconnecting the hose from the PCV valve. While at it, place your finger over the valve opening while idling at normal operating temperature. The suction is an indicator that the valve is in good working condition. Apart from this, if there is no vacuum at the valve, ensure that you have inspected all plugged hoses or valves and replaced any plugged or deteriorated hoses. Consequently, switch off the engine and attach a piece of hose to the PCV valve. You can then blow through the valve starting from its cover end towards the opposite side of it. A well-functioning valve should not allow air through quite easily. If there is no air passing through or it passes too easily, install a new one. In buying a new PCV Valve, make sure it's specifically for your kind of car and engine model. After comparing a brand-new one with an old PCV valve for comparison purposes so as to ensure their similarity.

Chevrolet Metro PCV Valve

The PCV Valve embodies one of the Chevrolet Metro automobiles' most significant component since it is in charge of emission control and the outstanding performance of the auto engine. The PCV Valve safely returns gases from the crankcase back to the combustion chamber to be burned thus avoiding environmental pollution and dangerous oil sludge build up. As a result of depending on intake manifold vacuum conditions, the PCV Valve allows little amount of gas to pass through at idle to prevent lean running and allows more blow-by gases to pass through at full load. Also, it serves the purpose of flame arrester to prevent the crankcase being subjected to positive pressure events. Routine servicing of the PCV Valve also helps to avoid some of the associated problems like fouled up engine oil, high fuel rate, and expensive repairs.

Each OEM Chevrolet Metro PCV Valve we offer is competitively priced and comes with the assurance of the manufacturer's warranty for the part. Furthermore, we guarantee the speedy delivery of your orders right to your doorstep. Our hassle-free return policy is also in place for your peace of mind.
