Kracka Vent help

**Halon** · 11-18-2008

Just want to make sure I'm understanding this correctly...

Without any of the valves installed, it does not smoke at all on decel after boosting, correct? But with both valves in, it smokes a lot? If so, then personally I'd remove one at a time, to figure out which one exactly is causing this. Then report back.

Also, your catch can isn't full is it?

Nope, catch can is bone dry. Also, I just put that on tonight temporarily, to see if it would help solve the smoking.

They each do it, I can have one on the breather and stock PCV, or one on the PCV and stock breather, still end up with the same result.

So you can put one in the PCV line, and leave everything else stock, and it smokes? But you remove it and it doesn't smoke? That seems very odd, considering putting one in the PCV line is essentially doing nothing except acting as a back up to the PCV.

But if that is true, then it sounds like a kinked line, or bad valve.

Do you have a good understanding of how the crank case ventalation system works on these cars, and exactly what you are affecting/changing when you install these valves? If you don't, I would recommend you research the topic (there's a few threads on here with a lot of info) so you can troubleshoot this much better yourself.

Scheides- I capped off the top of that catch can and it ended up smoking even worse, I have no idea why.

Halon- I thought I had a pretty good idea of how the CCV system works, IDK mine must have a gremlin in it or something. I have read every thread on the site regarding Kracka Vents, and the old expensive Krank Vents.

I'm really not to concerned about this, the car runs perfectly without them so I will just be removing them for now
Thanks so much for the help everybody!!
