Keep crankcase vapors flowing through the intended path with the Standard Ignition PCV Valve V238, a direct-fit emission-control replacement for a range of Ford and Mercury applications, including the 1979-1980 Ford Mustang [V6-2.8L, L4-2.3L], 1983-1984 and 1988 Ford Ranger [L4-2.0L, L4-2.3L], and 1986 and 1996 Ford Taurus [V6-3.0L] — see the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list of covered vehicles and engines.
The PCV (positive crankcase ventilation) valve meters blow-by gases from the crankcase back to the intake to be re-burned, using engine vacuum to regulate the flow. When a stuck or worn PCV valve is the cause, signs may include rough idle, oil in the PCV hose, or oil seepage from seals under crankcase pressure — this valve replaces the original if that is the fault.
