good point!
My PCV diaphragm cover (whatever you call it) broke during my valve cover replacement. The nipple that the hose attaches to broke off. I superglued it and it worked to get me rolling, then just this morning I replaced it with the $30 part floating around eBay. Wasn't great... had to break the old diaphragm off with a chisel, but it ended up being fine and the new piece seems robust. It seemed reasonable to try considering the cost and time involved with replacing the valve cover. Didn't solve my idle issue though. |

Sorry if you've mentioned it before already but what idle issue are you having? Are the RPMs moving around a bit? My car idles well but vibrates like I have a reeeaaalllly small vacuum leak, as if the AC compressor is running but it isn't, but I have no idea where. When I put my new valve cover on one of the PCV breather cap things broke off and I platic epoxied it, so I think that may have failed. Ill get around to properly JB welding it (lol) when I do MILVs

... rant over. The eBay PCV cover seems okay. I would try it before JB welding anything or dropping money on a new valve cover. |
