Then there's the passenger side valve cover that has another pcv valve that vents back to the side of the throttle body to be used/reused. There is intake VACUUM so, I dont not know how you could be pushing air from the TB to the valve cover unless your boosted. Curious, How do FI guys handle that???
the answer to my problems was run a filter on the valve cover and one on the pcv hole on the side of the manifold. on my intake i plugged the hole inder the TB and the one on the right side. i have had no problems so far, i also don't see why a N/A car couldn't do that unless you live in a strict emmissions state.
i got some crankcase pressure issues got smoke coming out when pcv valve is out also some oil coming up around the PCV valve.. i got a 94 i dunno what year my intake is but i have a PCV valve on my intake to?? I never remember replacing that damn thing i just have the one in the pass valve cover

10 Camaros You Should Never Buy
To clear this up a little bit..
The one on the Valve Cover to the Throttle Body is just a breather, and it does fill it with all kinds of ****, so the wisest thing to do might be to put a breather Filter on the Valve Cover, and block that spot in the Throttle Body. I forgot who called it a hollow Valve up there.. but explain how that works..
The PCV, the only PCV in this Engine, is in the Intake, center drivers side in a Grommet. Some have a U-shaped hose like above, others are like mine that have a little connection under the Throttle Body.
That should spell it out pretty clear..

was looking at my intake today when we rebuilt the motor they did a PCV valve stuck in th side of the intake with a cap over it.. all i got is my PCV from the valve cover to the TB
Take the Cap off of that PCV Valve, and look under the Throttle Body for a fitting. If there is one there, then get a piece of hose to go from the PCV Valve to that, cause that is how it should go.
If you put a one-way valve(which the PCV Valve is) on the Valve Cover, it won't function like it should. The one on the Valve Cover needs to go both ways.

The PCV Valve vents the pressure insdie the Engine. You can figure it out from the full name, Positive Crankcase Veltilation Valve. The reason it's capped off up there is cause it's not connected correctly. It should go under the Throttle Body. Some people have a little U-shaped piece on it, all that does is go right back to the Intake, doesn't do anything.
Underneath the Throttle Body is a little Port, and that goes to the Valve. There is probably a nice spot of oil there if there is no tube connected to it.

i know something hallow but it has to fit that grommet snuggly with a lip any ideas apart from buying tons of pieces at oriellys/autozone
