I had told this to everyone before..


if you got the pcv vented.. it wont die.. if you are not venting it.. it will die because it causes a vacuum leak on the "intake" side. Thats basically it..

yep..thats exactly it. also why duncans car doesn't die. his pvc is vented to the atmosphere and not the intake.

I drove my dads new truck 200km on Sunday with the oil cap sitting on top of the battery. Cr drove fine, Seemed to get shitty gas mileage tho.
