OK, I am trying to eliminate some possible air leak sources causing slightly higher rpm on my 1973-1974 2 liter 4 cylinder US GA code engine with D jetronic FI system.
Looking at the PCV valve I have and the Porsche parts diagram it looks like I am missing some parts. Mine is just screwed on with the white nut without any seal or o ring (#8 in below diagram) and the hose comming from the manifold is connected directly to the pcv without any elbow piece like #14 in the diagram. Also the stopper part (#9) is missing. Could the missing seal, elbow and/or stopper be causing a (small) air leak? My engine is running 100-150 rpm too high when idling and when I close the hose coming from the pcv with a pair of pliers the rpms drop to about 900. Also my oil filler cap does not have any seal as shown in the diagram (bottom part of #2). Should there be a seal and if yes what type? Here's a picture of the parts I have (white plastic nut is not shown) And here's a screenshot of the Porsche parts diagram and the part numbers Thanks for reading and for any advise! |

Thanks emerygt350, I don't see the elbow used much either when I search for PCV valve pictures. I have an electronic 123ignition so no original distributor anymore. I already replaced some hoses and had my MPS redone by Bosch and replaced the throttle body gasket which eliminated large part of the rpm issues. Idle screw is completely in like yours but does still show a gap where air passes. I have another TB with screw and it is the same so guess the screw never closes completely?
Will add a gasket to the oil filler cap. Do you know if there is a seal between the PCV valve and the filler housing? |
