Keep crankcase vapors flowing where they belong with the Standard Ignition PCV Valve V345, a direct-fit replacement for the 1998-2001 Ford Ranger with the L4-2.5L engine and the 1998-2001 Mazda B2500 with the L4-2.5L engine. This positive crankcase ventilation valve meters blow-by gases from the crankcase into the intake, where they are drawn back in and burned instead of building up inside the engine.
The listed applications use one valve. The package contains the valve only; gaskets, a cap, and a mounting bracket are not included. Country of origin: Mexico.
Signs a PCV valve may need replacing: a rough or unstable idle, oil seeping from seals or gaskets, or increased oil consumption. If a sticking or clogged valve is behind the problem, the V345 replaces it. Diagnose the cause first, since vacuum leaks and other faults can produce similar symptoms.
