PCV valve is the valve on top of the rocker cover at the rear right hand side. It should have a 3/8 vac hose going from the inlet plenum to the pcv valve. You need a multimeter to check but easiest is to cut back loom where you soldered wires and compare what colour wire you have joined their to the other end at the plug where you cut it.

What 1/4 or 1/8 vac line has a one way valve in it???? I took this out and maybe put it back in the wrong way Edited 08/07/09 11:19 AM by FPV_Steve Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/59359-motor-not-running-after-plenum-change/page/3/#findComment-903357 Share on other sites More sharing options...

ebxmple Member 1,322 Member For: 17y 2m 30d Posted 08/07/09 11:25 AM Share Posted 08/07/09 11:25 AM Yeah it has a valve in it but it doesnt come apart anyway. I doubt you put it in the wrong way. If theirs definately no vac leaks then you need to cut open the loom at both ends where you soldered extension wires in and make sure they match up at both ends.

You can suck thru it but not blow. Anyway, I am in debt to you for your advice mate and ETM. I really appreciate it. Thanks and I'll check the wires now. DOH!!!!

All good!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Only thing is on the smaller plug (2 wires) I used much heavier gauge wire?? This could make a difference in the signal?

ETM Member 1,194 Member For: 18y 1m 17d Gender: Male Location: syd south Posted 08/07/09 12:36 PM Share Posted 08/07/09 12:36 PM Well in that case you have not changed anything- technically everything is the same as it was before and should work as it did before. It must be a plug not clipped in properly or something silly like that.
