Where is the PCV valve on a Transit Connect?
The PCV (Positive Crankcase Ventilation) valve on a Ford Transit Connect is typically located on the engine, near the top of the valve cover. The PCV valve is an important component that helps regulate the flow of crankcase vapors back into the engine's intake system, reducing emissions and improving engine performance.
What is the PCV Valve?
The PCV valve is a one-way valve that allows the flow of crankcase vapors from the engine's crankcase into the intake system, where they can be re-burned in the engine. This helps to reduce the buildup of harmful gases and oil residue in the crankcase, which can lead to decreased engine efficiency and increased emissions.
