Locate PCV valve, excessive crankcase pressure

Good evening,

I doubt it is the PCV. To have that much pressure suggests something else in the motor. It could be a bad piston.

Does the engine run bad?

Is the check engine light on?

The procedure is below with some pictures for you to view.

Removal and Installation
1. Remove the 4 transaxle roll restrictor brace bolts.
- To install, clean the bolts using a wire brush, apply new threadlocker to the threads and tighten to 55 Nm (41 lb-ft).

2. Remove the bolt and the transaxle roll restrictor brace.
- To install, clean the bolts using a wire brush, apply new threadlocker to the threads and tighten to 48 Nm (35 lb-ft).

3. Disconnect the positive crankcase ventilation (PCV) valve tube from the PCV valve.
4. If equipped, disconnect the PCV valve electrical connector.

5. CAUTION: A new PCV valve must be installed if removed from the cam cover. Damage will occur to the locking mechanism on the PCV valve.

Rotate the PCV valve counterclockwise to remove from the valve cover.

6. To install, reverse the removal procedure.

Thanks Roy asemaster6371. I started the car again it has a loud tapping and knocking noise. it gets louder when i try to increase rpm. It will not stay running and will not start again. check engine light is on. Thanks again.

Sounds like you have internal engine damage.

Looks like you will need a motor.

Thanks Roy, I thought it could be a serious problem. I was hoping it could be a valve-train problem. The car is going to the shop Friday, I will let you know what we find. Thanks again.

Sounds good.

Always glad to help
