Default PCV Ground

Can someone clue me in on the purpose of the ground cable attached to the PCV on a '02 Z28.

To keep the PCV warm in cold climates.

It's really a heat synch (transferring heat to the PCV valve) rather than an electrical ground.

Interesting, I always wondered why there was such a HUGE ground wire to the PCV. LOL.

Ya know, I was in there cleaning as usual and I noticed a little bit of moisture in the PCV valve but I didnt even give it any thought that the braided wire was for heat sink to keep PCV from freezing.

Thanks I needed that <img border="0" title="" alt="[Cool]" src="gr_images/icons/cool.gif" />
