zactek Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 Hey all,I'm replacing my turbo inlet with an AVO one and replacing the PCV valve as well. Is there a reason why instead of using that little metal clip in the PCV plug itself I can't just cut the plug off and solder the two wires that go into it together? I imagine it would have the same effect,I just wouldn't have a plug dangling around,I would just tuck the harness away to look a little cleaner. Thanks,Zack K.

relative4 Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 The "PCV leak detector" is a joke. The connector on the inlet side has a jumper plate in it. Pull it out, stick it in the plug, tape up the plug. Tuck the plug under the intake manifold / throttle body, drama concluded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks,I know how it's done,I was just wondering if cutting the plug and soldering the two wires together does the same thing. I just hate extra unused plugs in the engine bay,hidden or not. Zack K.

relative4 Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 Given that there would never be a need to RTS a 15YO car to the anal-retentive extreme of restoring the OEM PCV junction, it is absolutely fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would this be a bad time to point out the twenty or thirty unused plugs that have been scattered in your engine bay, under your dash, behind your body panels, and under your seats and carpets since the car rolled off the factory floor?

I have yet to find an unused plug in the engine bay. As far as others in the interior,all the ones I found are being used for something at one time or another. I am anal enough to get rid of stuff like that once found and the area is taken apart for easy access.Sometimes I'll follow it all the way through the harness, get rid of it, and then re-wrap the harness,if I have time,lol.
