Will a bad pcv valve cause your car to smoke?
Also can someone tell me what a bad guide is?

whitevenom99 said:Yea pretty much what Virtual said. The guid is what the valve slided up and down in. Your valve seals is what keeps oil from running down them and going into the combustion chamber.

BlueVenom01 said:Not to hijack the thread, but how does a PCV valve go bad? It just looks like a plastic 90 degree elbow..... i'm noticing some smoke on start up every now and then. and i've done seafoam a couple of times....
VirtualSVT said:The Cheap spring inside will wear out letting more vapors past the seal.
BlueVenom01 said:Can I get any brand of PCV valve from say, Autozone, or does it have to be a Ford valve? I've already got the JLT pre-filters on.... Thanks Virtual.. BTW have you had a chance to pull the peg on your speedo for me yet? oke:
VirtualSVT said:We put a Autozone on my friends 96 and it smoked even worse.
The Ford one fixed it.
I haven't had time. Lemme give you my timeline for the next 2 weeks.
April 19-25th Ireland April 28th move to Ohio.
I've been busy tying stuff up with work and my place.
I'll try to get to it as soon as I can when I get settled in Ohio.
