PCV wire needed? There is a wire that has been reffered to as the heat sink wire that attaches from the pcv valve to a stud on the head. I didnt put it back on after working on my car. What the heck is it for? WHo has left it off?
I think its useless.

Ha...Well, let us know if you end up with any negative effects in the future. Though I can't seem to figure out its importance either, I'm going to have to side with the engineers on this one...

Ahh...this is good news...
Perhaps I'll try it then. I've been running a Greddy puke can for a good while. If it does in fact only somehow keep the oil vaporized, it certainly wouldn't be needed with a catch can.

I can't imagine the oil would need to be kept heated going through the pcv valve.
My guess is that it's an electrical ground. Remember static electricity is caused by moving materials through a pipe/tube and such. We have that kind of stuff everywhere here at work. It's real important when you're dealing with flammable ****.
