PCV valve....time to replace?
I've noticed a little bit of gunk and moist grime around the pcv valve......is this an indication that it's time to replace it? If not...what does it mean?

Remove pcv and clean it with WD-40 inside and out ..............If you have a build up around it make sure the grommet is ok on valve cover...................MIKE

PVC value is easy. $10 part and <10 minute job, simple.

if I clean it with WD40 is there anyway to tell if it's time to be replaced....are they ok to use over again? Or am I better of bitting the bullet and spending the big $10....or 13.68 CND on a new one?

I live in Mississauga, Ontario, just spend $13 and have a brand spanking new pcv and maybe change the pcv hose while your at it.

Yes he could check if the pcv valve is still okay but why take a chance? It might get clog again in a few weeks. I doubt that valve is in good working order. It may even be < $13cdn.

Only running complaint is the typical tapping...and idle is a bit rough....but spark plugs are due for a change long ago....so that hopefully will clear it up. I just drove from Nova Scotia to Ontario, over 2000km's, and drove 10 hour days. Made it with no problems. So can't complain!
