  2. At idle, listen to the PCV valve (A) with a stethoscope as you lightly pinch the PCV hose (B) with your fingers or pliers several times Each time the hose is pinched, the valve should click

    If there is no clicking sound, check the PCV valve grommet for cracks or damage If the grommet is OK, replace the PCV valve and recheck
