    Pro tip: in the future, go through the top. This should be part of a somewhat larger maintenance procedure that kills several birds at once.
    Take the 10 minutes or so to remove the cowl. Remove and inspect, clean or replace the EGR. Remove the intake manifold and clean the EGR ports in it.
    Remove the throttle body and clean both sides of the throttle plate.
    The EGR gaskets are all reusable unless the black gaskets get chipping in the black. A fresh intake gasket and throttle body gasket are recommended.
    While the intake manifold is out, the PCV is easy to access.
    If any of the parts that you clean up had a lot of buildup on them? After re-assembly you’re likely to experience a smoother running engine and increased fuel economy.

    Absolutely love my 2012 camry se 2.5L, but she's low ecery oil change. Looks like a new pcv valve is in order! Time for a transmission filter drain/fill, brake bleeding, coolent flush, spark plugs, rotor and brakes, ac top off, lower control arms, sway bar links, altimator check, interior shampoo and deep clean, all at 150k. Caught the stutter issue in time and got the torque converter changed at 74k on the recall 1k short of the cut-off ! Oh and the dreaded front bumper bars that holds the sides in need to be replaced 😅

    I just bought my 2013 CamryLe(4cylinder) and was wondering where Toyota put the PCV valve. Now I know, thanks to your channel. I know this engine doesn't burn oil. I also owned a 09 Camry Le and it used oil, 3qts between oil changes. Not good. I used " restore" , and this helped some,along with SeaFoam ( 4ozs) in the oil about 500 miles before the oil change, and the rest of the bottle in the gas tank. This help some. I traded it in and bought my 2013, and this one doesn't use any oil. And the ABS control module works. In my 09 the ABS control module stopped working, so the A/C , odometer wouldn't work because everything is integrated through the control module, this also caused the car to fail the smog check,so there for you can't register the car in California, unless it is fixed. And the unit cost over 2,100.00 to replace. A expensive repair job. Easier to just trade it in for a newer Camry that doesn't have these problems.

    • @dcfgarage
      @dcfgarage  3 роки тому +2

      It's called positive crankcase ventilation (PCV) valve and its purpose is to recycle combustion (to control emissions) gases that pass through the piston rings to the bottom of the engine back into the intake manifold. The PCV valve is designed to only let gases and not oil through. But sometimes, it gets gunked up and doesn't close properly or gets stuck open... and then you start getting oil into the intake and it burns with the combustion.
