GENERAL INFORMATION (CRANKCASE EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM)
The crankcase emission control system
prevents blow-by gases from escaping inside the crankcase into the
atmosphere.
Fresh air is sent from the air cleaner into the crankcase
through the breather hose.
The air becomes mixed with the blow-by
gases inside the crankcase.
The blow-by gas inside the crankcase is
drawn into the inlet manifold through the positive crankcase ventilation
valve.
The positive crankcase ventilation valve lifts the plunger
according to the inlet manifold vacuum so as to regulate the flow of
blow-by gas properly.
In other words, the blow-by gas flow is
regulated during low load engine operation to maintain engine stability,
while the flow is increased during high load operation to improve the
ventilation performance.
