sounds good no problem. btw... still interested in the hids?

 

[msp97]

Possibly. Depending on if this fixes my problem. If not and it's a major fix I really need to put the money into that so I'm crossing my fingers.

 

[duren03msp]

let me know

Good suggestion on the PCV valve, I didn't quite think of that. I upgraded to the Millennia S valve so long ago that I completely forgot about that issue with the stock setup.

Here is some more information about it if you're interested in reading. I went with one from the dealership just to be sure, but if the one from AutoZone works then all the better. I personally tend to prefer spending a little extra to get OEM replacement parts just because the quality tends to be higher than the cheaper counterparts from generic auto part stores. Anyway, it's definitely worth a try!

If I don't want to run my crankcase breather hose through the intake what are some other solutions? the hose is just sitting in the bay right now not connected to the intake.

 

[duren03msp]

oil catch can

 

[msp97]

I'm going to be honest...I'm somewhat of a newbie and I have no clue how I'd do that.

 

[msp97]

Okay I understand now...I just didn't know what they were called. I've heard of people making them with like monster cans.

 

[duren03msp]

I suppose you could.

 

[msp97]

Well no more white/blue smoke!!! Just a little bit of of black grayish smoke after letting off the gas! I'm assuming that's normal because of how rich these cars run.

 

[duren03msp]

ya black is a rich puff.

 

[msp97]

Won't hurt a thing correct?

 

[duren03msp]

nope.

 

[msp97]

Well I reconnected the breather hose to the intake last night and now my exhaust smells like burning oil like it did before I took it off..

 

[duren03msp]

are you straight piped?

 

[msp97]

Stock s and j pipe. Corksport downpipe back exhaust. No cats. I do have a res and muffler.

 

[duren03msp]

with no cat id only expect to smell residual oil

 

[msp97]

Hmm it just got a lot stronger after I attached the hose and drove it for a while.

Is the PCV working? It should not be sucking oil through the breather.

 

[msp97]

Just replaced it.....
