 PCV Valve
Hi. When I went to get a new grommet for the rocker arm cover for my 200 in-line 6 engine on my 71 Mav, it was suggested that I also get a new PCV valve. So I put it in and my engine stalled at every stop. Upon pulling the valve out of the r.a. cover, the engine no longer stalled, but I found that my idle speed was very slow. Should I have pulled the new PCV off the intake hose? I fortunately was able to pick the old one out of the trash and put it back in and the engine seems about the same, although the idle was a bit rougher than before--but then again, it might just be cold, since I've not taken it on the road. Details: The new one was (I believe) an authentic Ford part made of plastic and the old one was metal from a parts store. Was the new PCV valve the correct one to put in and that since the engine compression is so low it didn't work properly? Or was it either a defective pcv or the wrong one for the car? Thank you. |
