OK, today I rinsed off the engine (with it running). While looking under the hood I noticed a loud hissing sound and saw the section of rubber pcv hose was being collapsed while running. Now I'm guessing this means my pcv valve is stuck closed? With it still running, I got in to drive it down the road to dry it. I saw the CEL was on. Hope it didnt have anything to do with rinsing the engine off. Guess I can run down to Advance and get the codes read. So I should replace the pcv valve and unhook battery to reset the computer?[/align]

 

and why did you run your engine with it wet?

that completely defeats the purpose of letting it dry in the first place....


ALWAYS make sure you engine is fully dry before turnning it back on after you wash it.....

 

Should not spray water directly onto your engine anyways........

 

After closer inspection, the pcv hose has a hole in it.

 

Anyone else had the pcv hose to collapse when running? The hose seems to have become soft and has small cracks all in the rubber.
