The Positive Crankcase Ventilation (PCV) system reduces hydrocarbon emissions by scavenging crankcase vapors. A PCV valve regulates the flow of gases into the intake manifold based on intake vacuum. The PCV system on 3.7L V6 and 4.7L V8 engines includes a fresh air inlet hose, breather pipes, PCV valve, and crankcase ventilation hose. On Hemi engines, the PCV system consists of a fresh air inlet hose and PCV valve. It is important to inspect the PCV system for damage and obstructions, as a clogged or leaking PCV hose can cause rough idle, stalling, oil leaks, or sludge buildup. To check the PCV system, disconnect the crankcase ventilation hose and verify vacuum. If there is no vacuum, check for blockages or collapsed hoses. If there is positive pressure or evidence of engine oil in the throttle body or air filter housing, further testing and inspection may be necessary. Excessive blow-by should be addressed promptly to prevent engine damage.

To check the PCV system's functionality, disconnect the crankcase ventilation hose and verify vacuum presence using a vacuum gauge.
