  2. If engine RPM changes little or does not change after removing valve from hose, replace vacuum hose between throttle body or intake manifold and PCV valve.
  3. Turn ignition off. Remove PCV valve. Blow air into PCV valve from cylinder head side of valve. Ensure air flows through valve easily. DO NOT  suck air through valve.
