Do I Need the PCV? a few minutes ago I was disconnecting the pcv from the manifold, and hose from the valve cover,and I tore the rubber boot that the pcv fits in. Any way i am doing the diy catch can(see Wakerider's post here). any way when everything is hooked up, do I need the pcv any way, since there is a filter on the catch can. my car is a 99Z. oh yeah, whats with the ground strap hooked up to the pcv?thanks for any help.
