Re: Found Problem- Open PCV Valve Port

[Eric Sturgis <ericsturgis@xxxxxxxxx>]

Maybe a day late...but when our old cars backfire through the carb they can pop off vacuum lines, or caps of the vacuum lines on the carb or in the intake manafold.  It can also split or break old vacuum lines.  So if it EVER one time has backfired, and you start having problems look at them vacuum lines and ports for missing plugs.  

Happy motoring.

A stuck open valve or leaking PCV hose will cause a lean air fuel ratio
