I'm about to do the top end claning and change out the PCV tonight/tomorrow morning. I don't think I really have an oil consumption problem, only about 1qt every oil change, approx 3000-4500 mile (Syntec ONLY) What is the normal PCV PN for a 99 TA? I'm picking up the part on lunch today. Also, change the PCV before or after the top end clan? I'm also thinking of putting in the FRAM G3 FF just to be on the safe side. Which side of the PCV should this go on? Thanks for your help. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

 

I just finished doing all that today. I did not really have an oil consumption problem either but I did notice oil on the throttle body blade so I decided to swap the PCV for the new one. An easy way to do the top engine clean is to disconnect the PCV hose at the throttle body and attach a 2 ft piece of 3/8 rubber hose. Just stick the other end of the hose in the bottle of cleaner and it will suck it all up in about 15 seconds. You are going to laugh when you start to drive the car after you let it sit. I left a thick cloud of smoke about 1/2 a mile long!

 

Thats the correct # for the "stock" valve. Joe..

 

Thanks for the quick replies, guys. I'm going to lunch to pick it up now! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

 

Put the filter AFTER the PCV valve b/t it and the TB.

 

Thanks, Dan. Well, I just back from Wal Mart(filter, some B-12Chemtool, spray, to clear the TB), Napa, (extran hose and SeaFoam, dealer only had aerosol in stock) and the dealership(PCV)Gonna put the SeaFoam in tonight, and blast it out in the morning. Then it's plugs and wires tomorrow night, FUN! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Roll Eyes]" src="images/icons/rolleyes.gif" /> Thanks for all the help, guys!

 

Dont foget the oil change!

 

Thanks, but can anyone validate the correct GM PN for the PCV? Is it 25179136? Thanks.

 

Forgot to list that, but it's on the agenda for tonight as well!
