- Run the engine at idle and put a finger on the open end of the PCV valve and make sure that intake manifold vacuum can be felt. NOTE: The plunger inside the PCV valve will move back and forth.
- If vacuum is not felt, clean the PCV valve and ventilation hose in cleaning solvent, or replace if necessary.
