dodgethis Posted March 21, 2010 Report Share Posted March 21, 2010 I had just walked back to the car after eating dinner with my date. It was going well for the first date until when I started the car, the engine made a horrible noise. It almost sounded like a plug had some how ejected itself out of the block. The whole motor was shaking bad. I found out some how when I cranked the motor over it had enough air (or something) to push the PCV out. I pushed it back in and everything acted normal. How could this happen? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radnsmash Posted March 21, 2010 Report Share Posted March 21, 2010 You mustve hit a bump from hell. the PCV is spring loaded, have you ever changed it? maybe it wasnt fastened properly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dodgethis Posted March 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2010 I thought when I put it in that it was fasten tight. I didnt turn it i just put it back in the slot, I had already replaced the original when I did a tune up on it. I am kinda stumped about the whole thing. I will say this that when it was disconnected, it made a horrible smell coming from the block or exhaust (Can't remember which). Does it do damage to the block with it disconnected?

1990lumina Posted March 21, 2010 Report Share Posted March 21, 2010 Won't damage anything disconnected, but it'll run poorly unless you plug the tube so there is no more vacuum leak. DON'T plug the PCV hole in the valve cover - or you'll blow out so other seal instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
