Sammich!
I have a question for the 5VZ-FE-knowledgeable folks here.
I'm swapping my factory air cleaner on my 1996 T100 out for a modified Sprinter unit that will move the assembly up by my passenger's firewall so I can use the stock location for my auxiliary battery.
It's running fine, but I just have questions about the PCV system on this engine. The PCV valve is on the passenger's valve cover and goes right up to the plenum, but there's another line that comes off the back of the driver's valve cover and routes along the plenum and then dumps into the intake stream 2/3s the way up the intake tube from the cleaner to the throttle body.
I guess I just want to know more about it. Is it a passive positive breather that just flows directly into the intake stream? Or is it a negative line that takes clean air out of the intake stream and runs it through the engine to help pressurize the crankcase ventilation stream?
I currently have it tapped into my silicone intake line and I'm trying to come up with a better, more permanent solution for it that's optimized for its correct application. Thanks in advance.
Below is a pic of a far cleaner engine bay than mine with the line in question highlighted. Thanks again.
